… subagents
Subagents receive ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} and ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR} as literal
strings instead of resolved paths (issue anthropics#65768, affects ≤ 2.1.166). This
breaks any subagent that tries to read plugin-bundled files.
Adds a Known Limitations section to SKILL.md with a resolution matrix and
pointers to workarounds, plus a new reference file documenting two concrete
workarounds:
- SessionStart hook staging: copies plugin files to .plugin-cache/ so
subagents can read them via stable relative paths (recommended for
multi-agent plugins with shared resources)
- Orchestrator injection: parent command reads the file and passes content
as text in the subagent spawn prompt (better for small, single-use cases)
Also clarifies that the `tools:` frontmatter field is a hard capability
boundary (not just a prompt-gating mechanism like command `allowed-tools`).
