/share-page unusable from Claude Code: vercel-deploy dependency not bundled and only Pi install path documented

[NikiforovAll]

Summary

When visual-explainer is installed as a Claude Code plugin (via the visual-explainer-marketplace), /share-page fails because its hard dependency on the vercel-deploy skill cannot be satisfied: the dependency isn't bundled in the marketplace, share.sh only probes Pi-shaped paths, and the only documented install route is the pi CLI.

Repro

1. In Claude Code, install the marketplace plugin (visual-explainer-marketplace → visual-explainer).
2. Generate any HTML diagram.
3. Invoke /visual-explainer:share-page <file> (or run share.sh directly).

Result:

Error: vercel-deploy skill not found
Install it with: pi install npm:vercel-deploy

The suggested install command is a Pi CLI command that Claude Code users don't have.

Root cause

Three issues compound:

1. Not bundled. ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/visual-explainer-marketplace/plugins/ contains only visual-explainer/. There is no vercel-deploy/ plugin alongside it, so installing the marketplace doesn't pull in the dependency.

2. Pi-only search paths. plugins/visual-explainer/scripts/share.sh searches only:

   for dir in ~/.pi/agent/skills/vercel-deploy/scripts /mnt/skills/user/vercel-deploy/scripts; do

   No Claude Code plugin path (e.g. ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/*/plugins/vercel-deploy/scripts/) is probed.

3. Pi-only install instructions. Both SKILL.md ("Sharing Pages" section) and commands/share-page.md ("Requirements") document install only as pi install npm:vercel-deploy. There's no Claude Code equivalent anywhere in the docs.

Suggested fixes (any one would resolve)

• Bundle vercel-deploy in the marketplace alongside visual-explainer, and add the corresponding Claude Code plugin path to share.sh's search loop.
• Document a non-Pi install route in SKILL.md / commands/share-page.md (e.g. a git clone / manual-drop instruction for Claude Code users) — and extend share.sh to probe that location.
• Land a variant of the previously closed PR fix(share): use Vercel CLI directly instead of deprecated vercel-deploy skill #53 that calls vercel CLI directly, eliminating the dependency entirely. (Noting this was already rejected; raising only because the underlying brokenness it cited still ships.)

Environment

• Claude Code on Windows 11
• visual-explainer-marketplace v0.7.1 / visual-explainer plugin v0.7.1
