Two lists in this repository had drifted from what they describe, for the same
reason. Both are maintained by hand and nothing makes you update them when the
thing they describe changes.
The google-cloud-developer rules file opened with "This plugin installs three
skills" and named three. The plugin ships five. The count was correct when it
was written and went stale the moment the plugin gained a skill, which is a
defect that will recur every time it gains another. Rather than correct the
number, the paragraph no longer states one. It tells the agent to check what is
actually available instead of trusting the file. A count that is not written
down cannot go out of date.
The same file closed by telling the agent to browse GitHub and install through
npx to find more skills. The plugin now bundles finding-google-skills, which
fetches the current index and returns exact entry points, so that advice routed
agents around the better tool. It now prefers the bundled skill and keeps the
browse URL as a fallback.
The two marketplace manifests describe one marketplace and had drifted apart.
The Claude manifest listed seventeen plugins and the agents manifest sixteen,
with db-context-engineering present in the first and missing from the second.
Whoever added it updated one file and missed the other.
Three conformance cases now hold this ground:
A rules file that names two or more bundled skills is treated as enumerating
them and must name all of them. One mention is a reference, not a list, so a
file may point at a single skill by name without triggering the check.
A rules file that states how many skills a plugin installs must state the right
number, whether written as a digit or a word.
The two marketplace manifests must list the same set of plugins.
The first two cases skip when a rules file makes no such claim, so the fix above
costs nothing to keep and the checks only bite if someone writes a hardcoded
list back in.

Renames google-cloud-core to google-cloud-developer, and removes five
plugin packages: google-cloud-well-architected, google-cloud-run,
google-cloud-gke, google-cloud-gke-workloads, and
gemini-enterprise-agent-platform.
Seven cloud plugins become two: google-cloud-developer and gemini-api.
No skill content is removed. The plugins are packaging over skills that
live in skills/cloud, and every one of those skills stays in the catalog
and remains individually installable. This change removes 5 bundles, not
57 skills. Specifically retained: 6 Well-Architected skills, 31 GKE
skills, 1 Cloud Run skill, 15 Agent Platform skills, and the 4 skills the
renamed developer plugin continues to bundle.
Changed alongside the packages:
* copy.bara.sky, both in PLUGIN_SKILLS and in the exported package list
* .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, 23 entries to 18
* .agents/plugins/marketplace.json, 22 entries to 17
The marketplace entry for the renamed plugin also has its source path
repointed to ./plugins/cloud/google-cloud-developer. A renamed directory
behind a stale source path would leave the marketplace advertising a
plugin that cannot install.
