templates/andscripts/directories at repo root level - Now templates are accessible regardless of how
CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOTresolves - Works for both plugin installs and manual installs
- Root cause:
After this fix, templates exist in THREE locations for maximum compatibility:
templates/- At repo root (for${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/)planning-with-files/templates/- For plugin marketplace installsskills/planning-with-files/templates/- For legacy~/.claude/skills/installs
If you still experience issues after updating:
- Uninstall:
/plugin uninstall planning-with-files@planning-with-files - Reinstall:
/plugin marketplace add OthmanAdi/planning-with-files - Install:
/plugin install planning-with-files@planning-with-files
- Plugin Template Path Issue (Fixes #15)

- Plugin cache expected
planning-with-files/templates/at repo root - Added
planning-with-files/folder at root level for plugin installs - Kept
skills/planning-with-files/for legacy~/.claude/skills/installs
