…tion All three plugins in marketplace.json had source set to "./" which causes Claude Code to copy the entire repo into each plugin's cache. Every plugin ended up with all 17 skills regardless of what the skills array declared. Moved skills into per-plugin subdirectories and updated source paths to match, following the pattern used by claude-plugins-official and other marketplaces. Fixes anthropics#189

Summary
I was checking whether my setup would auto-pull updates from this marketplace and noticed that all three plugins in
marketplace.jsonhave theirsourceset to"./". This causes Claude Code to copy the entire repo into each plugin's cache, so every plugin ends up with all 17 skills regardless of what theskillsarray declares.This has been broken since the marketplace was first published. PR #129 made it worse by consolidating all skills into a single
skills/directory while keeping"source": "./"on every plugin.If the intent is to expose three separate installable plugins (which makes sense), the
sourcepath needs to point to a dedicated subdirectory per plugin. That's the pattern used byclaude-plugins-officialand every other marketplace I checked.What changed
document-skills/skills/(xlsx, docx, pptx, pdf)example-skills/skills/(algorithmic-art, brand-guidelines, canvas-design, etc.)claude-api-plugin/skills/(claude-api)marketplace.jsonsource paths from"./"to"./document-skills","./example-skills", and"./claude-api-plugin"skills/directoryImpact
Before: installing all 3 plugins gives you 51 skill entries (17 x 3). ~56 MB of redundant cached files. Every skill tripled in the context window.
After: installing all 3 plugins gives you 17 skill entries (4 + 12 + 1). Each plugin only contains its declared skills.
Fixes #189
