Resolves#712 and #714.
Claude Code's plugin spec (code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins-reference) requires
"All paths must be relative to the plugin root and start with ./". CC 2.1.144+
rejects the bare "skills" form with `Validation errors: skills: Invalid input`,
breaking plugin installs from this repo.
Changes:
- 47 plugin.json manifests migrated from "skills": "skills" → ["./skills"]
(canonical post-CC 2.1.144 form, also accepts string "./skills")
- scripts/check_plugin_json.py rewritten to enforce the live spec:
* Hard-fails on non-"./"-prefixed strings (except the legacy "skills" literal)
* Hard-fails on empty strings/arrays and non-string array entries
* Emits WARN (non-fatal) on the legacy "skills" literal as a safety net
for copied templates — the WARN tolerance can be removed later
* Tested against all four canonical forms + 3 garbage forms
- CLAUDE.md §5 rewritten to document the live spec, including the historical
context of the v2.1.107 → v2.1.144 regression window that's now closed
- 15 stale broken symlinks under .gemini/skills/ removed (orphans from older
reorgs that the sync script didn't prune because its cleanup is disabled)
Verification:
- scripts/check_plugin_json.py --all → 0 FAIL, 0 WARN, exit 0 (69 files OK)
- pytest tests/ → 2103 passed
- find . -type l ! -exec test -e {} \; → 0 broken symlinks
- Live spec forms tested: ["./"], ["./skills"], "./skills", ["./a","./b"] all pass
- Garbage forms rejected: bare "./", empty array, non-string entries, plain strings
Claude Code 2.1.133+ rejects "skills": "./skills" with a "Path escapes
plugin directory" warning, even though ./skills resolves to a valid
subdirectory inside the plugin root. Per the upstream docs example, the
correct value is "skills" (no ./ prefix), which works across all CC
versions and other tools (Codex, Gemini CLI, etc.).
Applied to all 47 plugin.json files that used "./skills"; updated
CLAUDE.md ClawHub publishing constraints to document the new convention
and reference the issue.
Claude Code v2.1.126 rejects "skills": ["./"] (array form) at runtime
with the same "Path escapes plugin directory: ./" error as the bare
string form, despite the official plugins reference docs explicitly
showing ["./"] as a valid example. `claude plugin validate` accepts it,
so the bug is in the runtime loader, not the manifest validator.
The proven workaround (already used for self-improving-agent in #536)
is to follow the canonical layout:
<plugin>/
├── .claude-plugin/plugin.json skills: "./skills"
└── skills/<plugin-name>/
├── SKILL.md
├── scripts/
├── references/
└── ...
Applied to 21 single-skill plugins:
- engineering-team/a11y-audit, google-workspace-cli, snowflake-development
- engineering/behuman, code-tour, data-quality-auditor, demo-video,
docker-development, helm-chart-builder, karpathy-coder, llm-cost-optimizer,
llm-wiki, prompt-governance, statistical-analyst, terraform-patterns
- finance/business-investment-advisor
- marketing-skill/video-content-strategist
- product-team/agile-product-owner, apple-hig-expert, code-to-prd,
research-summarizer
Moved with each SKILL.md: scripts/, references/, assets/, templates/,
expected_outputs/. Kept at plugin root (per Claude Code requirements):
agents/, commands/, hooks/, settings.json, README.md.
Bumped patch version on each restructured plugin so /plugin update
picks up the new layout.
Refs #539
PR #587 fixed `"skills": "./"` in 35 plugin.json files but did not bump
versions. Claude Code uses version as the cache key — same version string
means /plugin update is a no-op and users keep loading the cached
plugin.json with the broken path. The /plugin UI shows "1 error" on
every plugin from this marketplace because the installed cache is stale.
Per the official version-management docs:
> If you set `version` in `plugin.json`, you must bump it every time
> you want users to receive changes. Pushing new commits alone is not
> enough.
Bump every plugin.json by one patch using max(plugin_version,
marketplace_version) as the base so no version moves backward. Sync the
new versions back into .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.
After this lands, users run `/plugin marketplace update claude-code-skills`
followed by `/plugin update --all` to pull the fixed manifests.
Claude Code v2.1.107+ rejects bare "skills": "./" with "Path escapes
plugin directory: ./". This blocks every plugin in the marketplace from
loading. Replace with the layout-appropriate form per the official
plugins reference:
- Single-skill plugin (SKILL.md at root):
"skills": ["./"] array form (per docs example)
- Plugin with skills/ subdir:
"skills": "./skills" standard subdir layout
- Multi-skill domain plugin (skills are subfolders at root):
"skills": ["./sub1", "./sub2"] explicit list of skill dirs
The multi-skill case omits "./" from the array so the index SKILL.md
at the plugin root does not register as a skill — that would create
a redundant `marketing-skills:marketing-skills` namespace.
Verified by running `claude plugin validate` against all 35 manifests.
Closes#539
Implements Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern as a production-grade plugin. The LLM
incrementally ingests sources into a persistent, interlinked Obsidian vault —
updating entity/concept/source pages, flagging contradictions, maintaining an
index and append-only log. Knowledge compounds instead of being re-derived by
RAG on every query.
Plugin contents (engineering/llm-wiki/):
- SKILL.md with `context: fork` frontmatter for skill chaining
- 3 sub-agents: wiki-ingestor, wiki-librarian, wiki-linter
- 5 slash commands: /wiki-init, /wiki-ingest, /wiki-query, /wiki-lint, /wiki-log
- 8 Python tools (stdlib only): init_vault, ingest_source, update_index,
append_log, wiki_search (BM25), lint_wiki, graph_analyzer, export_marp
- 8 reference docs: schema, page-formats, ingest/query/lint workflows,
obsidian-setup, cross-tool-setup, memex-principles
- Vault templates: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, index.md, log.md,
5 page templates (entity, concept, source, comparison, synthesis)
- Worked example vault on "LLM interpretability"
- .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest
Cross-tool compatibility: the scripts are pure Python stdlib. Only the schema
loader changes per tool (CLAUDE.md for Claude Code, AGENTS.md for Codex CLI /
Cursor / Antigravity / OpenCode / Gemini CLI, .cursorrules for legacy Cursor).
init_vault.py --tool all installs all three.
Repo-level registration:
- Commands mirrored to top-level commands/ for repo-wide discovery
- Agents mirrored to agents/engineering/ as cs-wiki-{ingestor,librarian,linter}
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json: new llm-wiki entry + version bump to v2.3.0
- CLAUDE.md updated: 234 skills, 313 Python tools, 432 refs, 28 agents, 27 commands
Also saved (deferred): craighewitt-mattpocock reimplementation plan at
documentation/implementation/ — 4-pod proposal for building better versions
of selected skills from thecraighewitt-skills and mattpocock-skills
collections. Not executed; awaiting user confirmation on scope.
End-to-end smoke test passed: init_vault → ingest → update_index → append_log
→ wiki_search → lint → graph_analyzer → export_marp all run against a fresh
vault with real pages, wikilinks, and frontmatter.
