Where is the Claude Code plugin registry stored?

The registry is located at ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json and tracks all installed plugins, versions, and their respective scopes.

What is the difference between user and project scope?

User scope makes a plugin available globally across all your projects, while project scope limits a plugin's activity and permissions to a specific directory path.

Why does my plugin show as installed but not work?

This often occurs due to scope mismatches or missing entries in the project's .claude/settings.json file. This skill helps identify and fix these registry inconsistencies.

How do I fix an 'already installed' error in Claude Code?

This error usually means a registry entry exists for a different project path. This skill allows you to manually find and remove conflicting entries or update the projectPath.
