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. Signed-off-by: Weili Xu <weilixu2@illinois.edu>

The previous
claude marketplace add ...command in README does not exist — marketplace is a subcommand ofclaude plugin, and an explicitclaude plugin install smg@smg-dev-guidestep is also required. Also documents the in-Claude-Code/pluginequivalents and/reload-pluginsto 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:There is no top-level
claude marketplacesubcommand.marketplacelives underclaude plugin(i.e.claude plugin marketplace …). Running the README's command in a shell just starts an interactive Claude session withmarketplace add …as the prompt.Even with the corrected
claude plugin marketplace add …, that only registers the marketplace. An explicitclaude plugin install smg@smg-dev-guidestep is required to actually install the plugin. Tryingclaude plugin install smg-dev-guide(the marketplace name) fails withPlugin "smg-dev-guide" not found in any marketplace, because the plugin inside the marketplace is namedsmg.Solution
Replace the broken one-liner with the correct two-step sequence, and additionally document the in-Claude-Code
/pluginequivalents plus/reload-pluginsfor picking up the new skills without restarting.Changes
