Troubleshooting

Marketplace Not Found

Problem: Claude Code can't find the talent-factory marketplace.

Solutions:

  1. Verify JSON syntax in .claude/settings.json
  2. Check GitHub repository is accessible: talent-factory/claude-plugins
  3. Ensure you have internet connection
  4. Restart Claude Code

Plugins Not Loading

Problem: Enabled plugins don't appear in Claude Code.

Solutions:

  1. Verify plugin names match exactly (case-sensitive)
  2. Check enabledPlugins syntax:
    JSON
    1
    "plugin-name@talent-factory": true
  3. Restart Claude Code session
  4. Check Claude Code version compatibility

Commands Not Working

Problem: Plugin commands like /commit don't work.

Solutions:

  1. Verify plugin is enabled in settings
  2. Check command syntax (commands start with /)
