How does the Local Plugin Linker speed up development?

It uses symbolic links to connect your active development folder directly to the Claude Code cache, so you don't have to reinstall the plugin every time you make a change.

What tools are required for this skill to function?

This skill requires Bash for script execution and jq to correctly parse the plugin list from the marketplace configuration file.

Do I need to restart Claude Code to see changes?

Yes, after modifying your local files, you must restart Claude Code for the changes to be loaded into the active environment.

Can I easily revert to the original plugin state?
