Summary

Both document-skills and example-skills plugins reference the same source directory ("source": "./"), causing Claude Code to cache all 17 skills identically under two different prefixes. This wastes context tokens and causes routing ambiguity.

Problem

When both plugins are enabled (default after marketplace install), Claude loads every skill twice:

  • document-skills:pdf, document-skills:xlsx, document-skills:algorithmic-art, ...
  • example-skills:pdf, example-skills:xlsx, example-skills:algorithmic-art, ...

Both cache directories have identical file counts (376 files) and content.

Fix

Merged document-skills and example-skills into a single anthropic-skills plugin that exposes all 16 non-API skills under one prefix. The claude-api plugin remains separate.

Users who previously disabled one plugin as a workaround can remove that setting.

Fixes #919
