How can I refresh a stale marketplace cache?

You can update the cache using 'claude plugin marketplace update {name}' or by manually clearing the specific marketplace directory in ~/.claude/plugins/cache/.

What does the diagnostic script check?

The provided diagnostic script identifies mismatches between installed and enabled plugins, missing configuration entries, stale caches, and invalid JSON structures.

How do I manually enable a Claude Code skill?

You can use the command 'claude plugin enable plugin-name@marketplace-name' or manually set the plugin to true in the enabledPlugins section of ~/.claude/settings.json.

Why is my installed plugin not showing in my available skills?

This is often caused by a known issue where plugins are registered as installed but are not automatically added to the enabledPlugins list in your settings.json file.
