Problem
When installing the ui-ux-pro-max plugin in Claude Desktop's Cowork mode, only 1 out of 7 skills registers and appears in the available skills list. The plugin shows up under Plugins, but 6 skills are invisible and unusable.
Working skill: ui-ux-pro-max (shows up correctly)
Broken skills: banner-design, brand, design, design-system, slides, ui-styling (do not register)
Root Cause
The working skill has a simple name field in its SKILL.md frontmatter:
The 6 broken skills all use a ckm: prefix:
name: ckm:banner-design
name: ckm:brand
name: ckm:design
name: ckm:design-system
name: ckm:slides
name: ckm:ui-styling
The colon (:) in the name conflicts with how the Cowork plugin system namespaces skills internally (it uses plugin-name:skill-name format). The ckm: prefix likely causes the skill registration parser to fail silently.
Suggested Fix
Remove the ckm: prefix from the name field in each SKILL.md:
ckm:banner-design → banner-design
ckm:brand → brand
ckm:design → design
ckm:design-system → design-system
ckm:slides → slides
ckm:ui-styling → ui-styling
