Description: One-line installer for tigerdata-marketing-skills Cowork plugin. Workaround for github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/40600
Author: Matt Stratton
Latest version: 1.0.1

# @mattstratton/install-marketing-skills

One-line installer for the **tigerdata-marketing-skills** Cowork (Claude Desktop) plugin.

Workaround for [anthropics/claude-code#40600](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/40600) — Cowork's `RemotePluginManager` can wipe marketplace-installed plugins on restart. This installer writes directly to the `LocalPluginsReader` path, which persists.

## Usage

```bash
# Install or update to the latest version
npx @mattstratton/install-marketing-skills

# Check if an update is available (doesn't install)
npx @mattstratton/install-marketing-skills --check
```

## What it does

1. Fetches the latest release from [timescale/marketing-skills](https://github.com/timescale/marketing-skills/releases)
2. Downloads the plugin zip (no git clone needed)
3. Finds your Cowork installation(s)
4. Installs the plugin into `cowork_plugins/cache/` where it persists across restarts
5. Enables the plugin in `cowork_settings.json`

**Restart Claude Desktop after running** for changes to take effect.

## Requirements

- Node.js 18+
- Claude Desktop installed (Cowork must have been opened at least once)

## Platforms

Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

On macOS, you can also use the shell script (no Node.js required):

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timescale/marketing-skills/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
```
