skills from installed claude plugins (e.g. mattpocock-skills) never appear in the $ picker, even though the native cli loads them.

skill discovery now reads plugins/installed_plugins.json for plugins enabled with enabledPlugins[key] === true in the merged settings files. each enabled install contributes its skills/ directory plus any directories its .claude-plugin/plugin.json declares, named <manifest name>:<frontmatter name> like the native cli. project and local installs only apply in their own workspace. existing precedence, overrides, and invocation flags are unchanged.

builds on @Moinax's installed-manifest and namespace approach from #6453 with @shivamhwp's explicit enablement correction.

verification on blacksmith: ClaudeSkills.test.ts and ClaudeSkillDispatch.test.ts (31 tests), scoped lint, and server typecheck pass. real claude client picker behavior is unverified.

Closes #5622

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This change expands Claude’s runtime skill discovery and dispatch to cover enabled installed plugins, including manifest-declared directories and workspace-scoped installs. The multi-source parsing, precedence, and namespacing logic introduce enough new user-facing behavior to warrant human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Claude skill discovery now includes skills from enabled installed plugins. It selects eligible installations for the current workspace and adds plugin-namespaced skills alongside user and project skills. Skill mention matching accepts namespaced plugin names.

Changes

Claude plugin skill discovery and dispatch

Layer / File(s) Summary
Read plugin enablement settings
apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/ClaudeSkills.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/ClaudeSkills.test.ts
Settings loading reads enabledPlugins independently from skillOverrides. Tests cover merged enablement, explicit local disables, and invalid installed-plugin manifests.
Select installed-plugin skill roots
apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/ClaudeSkills.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/ClaudeSkills.test.ts
Discovery selects enabled user installs or project/local installs matching the workspace. It handles standard directories, root-level SKILL.md files, and manifest-declared paths. Tests cover cache layouts and install selection.
Integrate plugin skills into discovery
apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/ClaudeSkills.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/ClaudeSkills.test.ts
Discovery reads single-skill and directory roots. Plugin skills use a namespace prefix and frontmatter names when available. Tests cover discovered names, metadata, and precedence.
Match namespaced skill mentions
apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/ClaudeSkillDispatch.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/ClaudeSkillDispatch.test.ts
The mention pattern accepts namespaced names with punctuation. Tests cover exact names, aliases, unknown names, and numeric-like tokens.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 552ca

No actionable merge-blocking risk was established in the reviewed changes; enabled plugin skills can be discovered and dispatched using contract-conforming names.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 552ca

Enabled installed plugins become discoverable and explicitly invocable. The inspected paths retain catalog membership, workspace applicability, and invocation controls; no security bypass was established. Full runtime agreement between cached discovery and native plugin loading remains unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The added reachability concerns enabled cached plugins associated with the configured Claude environment and applicable workspace. Influencing this path requires control of relevant settings, installed-plugin metadata, or plugin files; the inspected change does not itself grant credentials or change execution permissions.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The proposed uncatalogued-command attack path is blocked in the inspected dispatch chain: broader namespaced parsing still requires exact catalog membership, and argument rewriting preserves the selected name. Unknown namespaced mentions remain ordinary input text.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Discovery applies skill overrides and invocation metadata before the adapter constructs its dispatch catalog. Both normal and attachment message paths use names filtered to enabled, user-invocable skills; a broader regex does not independently confer invocation authority.
