The previous claude marketplace add ... command in README does not exist — marketplace is a subcommand of claude plugin, and an explicit claude plugin install smg@smg-dev-guide step is also required. Also documents the in-Claude-Code /plugin equivalents and /reload-plugins to pick up the new skills without a restart.

Problem

The README's Claude Code install instructions don't work. The single command shown — claude marketplace add lightseekorg/smg-dev-guide — has two issues:

  1. There is no top-level claude marketplace subcommand. marketplace lives under claude plugin (i.e. claude plugin marketplace …). Running the README's command in a shell just starts an interactive Claude session with marketplace add … as the prompt.

  2. Even with the corrected claude plugin marketplace add …, that only registers the marketplace. An explicit claude plugin install smg@smg-dev-guide step is required to actually install the plugin. Trying claude plugin install smg-dev-guide (the marketplace name) fails with Plugin "smg-dev-guide" not found in any marketplace, because the plugin inside the marketplace is named smg.

Solution

Replace the broken one-liner with the correct two-step sequence, and additionally document the in-Claude-Code /plugin equivalents plus /reload-plugins for picking up the new skills without restarting.

Changes

  • README.md — Claude Code install section:
    • Replaced claude marketplace add … with claude plugin marketplace add … followed by claude plugin install smg@smg-dev-guide.
    • Added the in-Claude-Code /plugin marketplace add … + /plugin install … equivalents.
    • Noted /reload-plugins (or restart) to load the skills after install.

Affected Skills

  • smg:map
  • smg:contribute
  • smg:review-pr
  • smg:implement
  • Recipe files (list which)
  • Command router (smg.md)
  • Plugin config (plugin.json)

Checklist

  • Follows conventional commit title format
  • Commit(s) are signed off (git commit -s)
  • Tested with claude plugins add . locally
  • Skill triggers correctly on intended prompts
  • No broken @file.md references in skills

The previous `claude marketplace add ...` command does not exist —
marketplace is a subcommand of `claude plugin`, and an explicit
`claude plugin install smg@smg-dev-guide` step is also required.
Also documents the in-Claude-Code `/plugin` equivalents and
`/reload-plugins` to pick up the new skills without a restart.
