"version": "1.0.0",
"author": "Jeremy Longshore <jeremy@intentsolutions.io>",

}
Technical Challenges Resolved
1. Tailwind CSS v4 Compatibility
Issue: Scoped styles with Tailwind utilities required @reference directive Solution: Converted to plain CSS with hex colors and standard properties
2. Author Field Normalization
Issue: Some skills had author as object {name, email}, others as string
Solution: Added normalization logic to convert all to string format
3. Allowed-Tools Array Handling
Issue: Some skills had allowed-tools as string or missing Solution: Ensured all allowedTools normalized to array format
4. Plugin Directory Discovery
Issue: Some plugins missing .claude-plugin/plugin.json
Solution: Fallback path inference from directory structure
