## Why
Several small quality issues accumulated across plugin-author and
marketplace-author: the plugin-author description was ambiguous about
scope, the ADD flow asked an unnecessary clarifying question when local
path is the obvious default, VALIDATE had redundant wording already
captured inline, the keywords field was missing from the validation
checklist, and tests/README.md was a placeholder with nothing to test.
## Implementation Notes
- plugin-author: tightened description scope to "inside those
directories"; added `keywords` identical-in-both-manifests check to
VALIDATE checklist.
- marketplace-author: moved reserved-prefix constraint from gotchas
into the ADD checklist item; replaced the four-option prompt with a
default+escape-hatch ("I'll treat this as local path — is that right?");
folded the validate-from-root note inline and removed trailing padding;
deleted tests/README.md — no scripts/ directory exists, so the
placeholder was noise.
- README.md: removed the tests/README.md row from the file table.

Skills for this plugin. Each skill lives in its own subdirectory:
skills/
<skill-name>/
SKILL.md # required — frontmatter + skill body
META.md # required — provenance and audit fields
references/ # optional — on-demand reference docs
scripts/ # optional — executable helper scripts
assets/ # optional — templates, data files, lookup tables
Shared — both Claude Code and GitHub Copilot CLI read skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
To create or improve a skill, run /skill-author in a Claude Code session. To review a skill
without modifying it, run /skill-audit. Do not write SKILL.md by hand without following the
authoring standard — trigger descriptions and body discipline are required.
