Why I Built a Centralized Skill Registry Instead of Using Claude Code Plugins Claude Code has a plugin system. It's well-designed - namespaced skills, marketplace distribution, versioned releases. So why did I build my own centralized skill management layer on top of plain.claude/skills/ directories? Because plugins solve the distribution problem. I needed to solve the coordination problem. The Setup I work across multiple repos - different tech stacks, different teams, different build systems.
