What's Wrong?

Description:
The Claude Code plugin submission URL (https://clau.de/plugin-directory-submission) redirects to the plugin documentation page instead of the plugin submission page. The redirected URL then returns a 403 Forbidden error, preventing developers from submitting their plugins to the official marketplace.

Expected Result:

The submission link should redirect to a valid plugin submission page or submission form.
Users should be able to access the plugin submission process without encountering an authorization error.

Actual Result:

The URL redirects to the documentation page.
The redirected page returns 403 Forbidden, making the plugin submission process inaccessible.

Impact:

Developers are unable to submit plugins to the official Claude Code marketplace.
Documentation references a submission process that cannot be accessed.

Frequency:
100% reproducible.

What Should Happen?

The submission link should redirect to a valid plugin submission page or submission form.
Users should be able to access the plugin submission process without encountering an authorization error.

Thanks for reporting this. The plugin docs now link directly to the submission forms instead of the short link:

See https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins#submit-your-plugin-to-the-community-marketplace

Closing as fixed.
