Description

Problem

Kimi Code CLI's skill discovery mechanism only scans directories configured in extraKnownMarketplaces in settings.json. Currently it looks at:

  • local-skills~/.claude/skills/
  • minimax-skills → GitHub remote

However, installed plugins like superpowers@claude-plugins-official have their skills in ~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-plugins-official/superpowers/*/skills/ but these are NOT automatically discovered.

Expected Behavior

Skills from installed plugins should be automatically discoverable, similar to how Claude Code works. Users who have superpowers plugin enabled cannot use skills like superpowers:brainstorming or superpowers:systematic-debugging via / commands in Kimi Code CLI.

Research direction

Start by tracing the current skill discovery logic for directories configured through extraKnownMarketplaces in settings.json. Compare it with the plugin cache path at ~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-plugins-official/superpowers/*/skills/ and verify that installed plugin skills such as superpowers:brainstorming become available through / commands.
