distribution: no working Claude Code install path (no .claude-plugin manifest, wrong README steps, rules unreachable)

[TMHSDigital]

Why it matters

The project describes itself as skills and rules "for Cursor and Claude Code", but only Cursor has a real install path. A Claude Code user who follows the README gets nothing loaded:

• Claude Code discovers project skills under .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (or through a plugin), not a top-level skills/ directory.
• Claude Code does not read Cursor .mdc rules at all, so the 9 anti-pattern rules have no effect for Claude users.
• There is no .claude-plugin/plugin.json or marketplace entry, so there is no one-command /plugin install.

That leaves half the stated audience with a manual, undocumented setup, which is a reach and first-impression problem.

Evidence

• README.md:60: "Claude Code — copy skills/ and rules/ into your project workspace." This doesn't name the .claude/skills/ destination, and copying rules/ does nothing.
• README.md:1281: "point Cursor at it as a skills/rules source". The setting and path aren't named.
• scripts/site/site.json installSteps[2] repeats the vague step on the landing page.
• .cursor-plugin/plugin.json exists, but there is no .claude-plugin/ directory. plugin.json keywords are only cursor-plugin, developer-tools, blender, and author.email is a contact@users.noreply.github.com placeholder.
• The skill frontmatter (name, description) is already Claude-Code-compatible, so the content is ready and only the packaging is missing.

Suggested approach

1. Add .claude-plugin/plugin.json, plus marketplace.json if you want /plugin marketplace add TMHSDigital/Blender-Developer-Tools, pointing at skills/. CI-gate it the same way .cursor-plugin/plugin.json is gated (validate.yml:189-246).
2. Bridge the rules for Claude. Either generate a rules skill, or a CLAUDE.md include snippet summarizing the 9 rules, from rules/*.mdc in CI so it can't drift.
3. Rewrite README "Install" as two tabs, Cursor and Claude Code, each with copy-pasteable commands. Mirror them in site.json.
4. Fix the plugin.json placeholder email and add keywords: claude-code, bpy, blender-addon, blender-python.

Done when

• A fresh Claude Code user can install with one documented command and see the 16 skills listed.
• The rules are reachable from Claude Code by a documented route.
• The manifest is CI-validated.
