Summary

The marketplace install command used the full git URL which registered it as source: "git". The "Update Now" button in Claude Code's plugin UI only works with source: "github" (shorthand format). Changed from:

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/5uck1ess/marketplace.git

To:

/plugin marketplace add 5uck1ess/marketplace

Impact

  • New users: Will get "github" source type automatically, "Update Now" works
  • Existing users: Need to re-add the marketplace or manually edit ~/.claude/plugins/known_marketplaces.json to change source type from "git" to "github"

Test plan

  • Verified all other working marketplaces (codex, gemini, context-mode) use "source": "github" with "repo" field
  • Updated local known_marketplaces.json and confirmed the format matches working plugins

Using the full git URL (`https://github.com/5uck1ess/marketplace.git`)
registers the marketplace with source type "git" instead of "github".
The "Update Now" button in Claude Code's plugin UI only works with
"github" source types. Using the shorthand (`5uck1ess/marketplace`)
fixes this so manual updates work without restarting.
