What
Claude Code can sync a folder of skills (pre-packaged instructions for a task) and adopt subfolders as plugins. If the sync manifest file in that skills directory can't be read or is not valid, Claude Code now shows a warning naming the actual file instead of a generic error message.
The warning also spells out the consequence: no folder in that directory is adopted as a plugin until the bad file is fixed or removed.
Why
Previously a generic message left you guessing which file was the problem. Naming the file makes it much faster to find and fix, or delete, the file that's blocking plugin adoption.
