When you add one from GitHub, Claude Code downloads it into a folder. Adding a marketplace now fails with an error if its name is the same as the folder name of a GitHub marketplace you already have, or the same as that folder's backup copy (the name ending in `.bak`). The error suggests asking the marketplace's author.\n\n**Why**\n\nA marketplace with a clashing name could stop another marketplace from downloading.
