What

The root README currently says "This plugin includes the following skills" above a table of 18 skills, and then documents the Claude Code marketplace as an install path. But .claude-plugin/marketplace.json only defines 6 plugins (browse, functions, browser-trace, safe-browser, webmcp-gen, add-webmcp), and the browse plugin ships only skills/browser. The other 12 skills, including ui-test, cookie-sync, and company-research, are not installable through the marketplace at all.

This PR:

  • Adds an Install column to the skills table with the exact command for every skill, so each row is copy-pasteable:
    • every row: npx skills add browserbase/skills --skill <name>
    • the six plugin-backed rows also show or /plugin install <plugin>@browserbase
  • Splits the Installation section into the npx skills add route (all skills, any agent) and the marketplace route (subset, Claude Code only), and says explicitly what the marketplace does not cover

No manifest changes. Whether more skills should become plugins is a separate question; this just makes the docs match what the manifest does today.

Why

Tried to install ui-test via the marketplace, following the README, and could not find it. It took reading the manifest to figure out why. With the Install column, a reader looking for any one skill sees the working command on that skill's row without having to scroll to Installation.

Related: #156 fixes the per-skill install command in skills/ui-test/README.md.

Note

Low Risk
README-only documentation; no code, config manifest, or install behavior changes.

Overview
Updates the root README so install instructions match reality: the skills table gains an Install column with copy-paste npx skills add browserbase/skills --skill <name> on every row, and the six marketplace-backed skills also show or /plugin install …@browserbase.

The intro no longer implies all skills ship as one Claude Code “plugin”; Installation is split into npx skills add (all skills, any detected agent) versus the Claude Code marketplace (only browse, functions, browser-trace, safe-browser, webmcp-gen, add-webmcp). Manual marketplace steps are generalized to pick any plugin, not only browse.

No manifest or runtime changes—documentation only.

The README listed all 18 skills under "This plugin includes" but the
marketplace manifest only defines 6 plugins. Users who install via
/plugin marketplace cannot get ui-test, cookie-sync, company-research,
etc. that way.

- Add a Plugin column to the skills table
- Split Installation into the npx skills route (all skills) and the
  marketplace route (subset), with a --skill example for single installs

Replace the Plugin column with an Install column holding the exact
npx skills add --skill command for each skill, plus the /plugin
install alternative on the six rows that have a marketplace plugin.
