   Environment: Claude Code CLI (latest), Windows 11

   Reproduction steps:

   1. claude plugin marketplace add → added agenticnotetaking marketplace
   2. claude plugin install arscontexta@agenticnotetaking → installed successfully
   3. Plugin shows as enabled with no errors in installed_plugins.json
   4. All plugin files present in ~/.claude/plugins/cache/agenticnotetaking/arscontexta/0.8.0/
   5. Skills directory contains all expected .md files
   6. Result: /arscontexta:setup returns "Unknown skill"

   What we tried:

   • Manual installation with install-manifest generation → same issue
   • Clean CLI install via marketplace → same issue
   • Stripped plugin.json to minimal {name, description} → same issue
   • Full Claude Code restart between each attempt

   Workaround found:

   After multiple restarts of Claude Code (not just session restarts, but full CLI restarts), the skills eventually appeared. This suggests a race condition or caching issue in skill discovery — the plugin files are present but not indexed until some deferred process completes.

   Suggestion: Could be related to how .install-manifests are generated or how the skill indexer reads the skills/ directory on startup.
