claude-skills-troubleshooting is a skill for Claude Code from daymade/claude-code-skills. It costs 78 tokens per session (1,161 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

A troubleshooting guide for Claude Code plugins and skills, which are add-ons and task-specific instructions for the Claude Code coding assistant. It checks installation, enablement, marketplace-cache freshness, configuration, and activation problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Diagnosing missing skills, plugins that do not appear, skills that do not activate, and problems in Claude Code’s plugin settings.
Why use it?
An installed add-on may still be unavailable or fail to activate because settings, metadata, or cached marketplace data are incorrect. The guide helps identify which configuration step is causing the problem.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade D, and why

claude-skills-troubleshooting scanned grade D with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/diagnose_plugins.py, scripts/enable_all_plugins.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Claude Skills Troubleshooting

Overview

Diagnose and resolve common Claude Code plugin and skill configuration issues. This skill provides systematic debugging workflows for plugin installation, enablement, and activation problems.

Quick Diagnosis

Run the diagnostic script to identify common issues:

python3 scripts/diagnose_plugins.py

The script checks:

  • Installed vs enabled plugins mismatch
  • Missing enabledPlugins entries in settings.json
  • Stale marketplace cache using known_marketplaces.json lastUpdated
  • Missing, malformed, timezone-free, or future lastUpdated metadata
  • Invalid plugin configurations

Treat lastUpdated as the only cache-freshness source. Do not fall back to cache-directory modification times: marketplace updates can refresh nested files without changing that directory timestamp. The diagnostic exits nonzero for stale caches or invalid freshness metadata.

Common Issues

Issue 1: Plugin Installed But Not Showing in Available Skills

Symptoms:

  • /plugin shows plugin as installed
  • Skill not appearing in Skill tool's available list
  • Plugin metadata exists in installed_plugins.json

Root Cause: Known bug (GitHub #17832) - plugins are added to installed_plugins.json but NOT automatically added to enabledPlugins in settings.json.

Diagnosis:

# Check if plugin is in installed_plugins.json
cat ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json | grep "plugin-name"

# Check if plugin is enabled in settings.json
cat ~/.claude/settings.json | grep "plugin-name"

Solution:

# Option 1: Use CLI to enable
claude plugin enable plugin-name@marketplace-name

# Option 2: Manually edit settings.json
# Add to enabledPlugins section:
# "plugin-name@marketplace-name": true

Issue 2: Understanding Plugin State Architecture

Key files:

File Purpose
~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json Registry of ALL plugins (installed + disabled)
~/.claude/settings.jsonenabledPlugins Controls which plugins are ACTIVE
~/.claude/plugins/known_marketplaces.json Registered marketplace sources
~/.claude/plugins/cache/ Actual plugin files

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

claude-skills-troubleshooting is a skill published in the GitHub repository daymade/claude-code-skills (1,387 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 1,161 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (reads agent configuration directories, recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
