README/QUICKSTART install commands point to non-existent plugin names (skill-creator, skill-reviewer, skills-search) #67

Description

@pine2D

Symptom

Following the documented install command from README.md and QUICKSTART.md fails:

$ claude plugin install skill-creator@daymade-skills
Installing plugin "skill-creator@daymade-skills"...
✘ Failed to install plugin "skill-creator@daymade-skills": Plugin "skill-creator" not found in marketplace "daymade-skills"

The same failure happens for skill-reviewer@daymade-skills and skills-search@daymade-skills, which are also referenced as standalone install targets in the docs.

Root cause

The four docs (README.md, README.zh-CN.md, QUICKSTART.md, QUICKSTART.zh-CN.md) instruct users to install skill-creator, skill-reviewer, and skills-search as if they were top-level plugins, but .claude-plugin/marketplace.json does not register any plugin by those names. The three are skills bundled inside a single plugin named daymade-skill (singular):

{
  "name": "daymade-skill",
  "skills": [
    "./skill-creator",
    "./skill-reviewer",
    "./skills-search"
  ],
  "source": "./daymade-skill"
}

Since claude plugin install <name>@<marketplace> resolves <name> against plugin name fields — not against entries in the skills array — the command can never match. This looks like the result of a structural refactor (three plugins collapsed into one aggregate daymade-skill plugin) that was not propagated to the install instructions.

Sanity check — these are the only doc-referenced install names that do not exist as plugins in marketplace.json today:

$ comm -23 <doc-referenced names> <actual plugin names>
skill-creator
skill-name        ← placeholder in a how-to template, not a bug
skill-reviewer
skills-search

The doc already half-acknowledges the new layout in one place — QUICKSTART.md:36 instructs users to run daymade-skill/skill-creator/scripts/init_skill.py …, which matches the actual on-disk path under the aggregate plugin.

Affected lines

File Line Current (broken)
README.md 88 claude plugin install skill-creator@daymade-skills
README.md (the equivalent of zh line 162) same
README.md (the equivalent of zh lines 268, 283) skills-search@…, skill-reviewer@…
README.zh-CN.md 88, 162 claude plugin install skill-creator@daymade-skills
README.zh-CN.md 268 claude plugin install skills-search@daymade-skills
README.zh-CN.md 283 claude plugin install skill-reviewer@daymade-skills
QUICKSTART.md 29 claude plugin install skill-creator@daymade-skills
QUICKSTART.zh-CN.md 29 claude plugin install skill-creator@daymade-skills

(There may be additional occurrences I missed in the English README — line numbers above are anchored from the zh variant where I did the full grep.)

Suggested fix

Two reasonable options:

  1. Doc-only fix (minimal): Replace every skill-creator@daymade-skills / skill-reviewer@daymade-skills / skills-search@daymade-skills install command with daymade-skill@daymade-skills, and add a one-line note clarifying that this single plugin bundles all three skills. This matches the current marketplace.json and ships immediately.

  2. Restore standalone plugins: Split skill-creator, skill-reviewer, and skills-search back into top-level plugin entries in marketplace.json so the documented commands work as written. Better UX (users can install only what they need), but requires manifest changes and a release.

Option 1 is the safe one-line-per-file fix; option 2 is the user-friendlier long-term answer. Happy to PR option 1 if useful.

Reproduction

claude plugin marketplace add daymade/claude-code-skills
claude plugin install skill-creator@daymade-skills
# → ✘ Failed to install plugin "skill-creator@daymade-skills": Plugin "skill-creator" not found in marketplace "daymade-skills"

Workaround for users hitting this today:

claude plugin install daymade-skill@daymade-skills    # installs all three skills as a bundle
