Does it modify my project files?

No, the resolver script is generated in /tmp/cpr.py, which is an ephemeral location that won't add any files to your active code repository.

Do I need to install Python?

Yes, this skill requires Python 3 to run the resolver script, which is standard on most modern development machines.

Is this skill compatible with existing environment variables?

Yes, the resolver checks the existing CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT environment variable first for backwards compatibility before searching the installation manifest.

How does fuzzy matching work?

The script uses a similarity algorithm to compare your query against the list of installed plugins in your Claude configuration, finding the best match even if the name isn't identical.

Why do I need this skill?

It solves a known issue where the ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable doesn't expand correctly in markdown files, making it difficult to reference scripts and resources within other plugins.

Developer Tools

Locates Claude Code plugin installation directories automatically to fix environment variable expansion issues in markdown files.

The Find Claude Plugin Root skill provides a reliable way to reference plugin assets when the default ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} environment variable fails to expand in Claude Code markdown command files. By generating a lightweight Python resolver script in a temporary directory, it allows developers to dynamically find the absolute path of any installed plugin using exact or fuzzy matching, facilitating seamless execution of cross-plugin scripts without manual path configuration.

Key Features

01Performs fuzzy matching to find plugins even with partial names

02Works across all installed plugins by reading global configuration

03Avoids project pollution by keeping scripts in temporary storage

041 GitHub stars

05Generates an ephemeral Python resolver script at /tmp/cpr.py

06Maintains backwards compatibility with CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT

Use Cases

01Executing scripts located inside other Claude Code plugins

02Fixing broken environment variable references in markdown command files

03Standardizing plugin path resolution across different development environments
