Installation issues
GitHub access, marketplace authentication, download locations, and updates not showing up.
I didn't get a GitHub invite, or I don't have access to the marketplace repository
Access to the private marketplace repository is granted automatically when your subscription becomes
active, tied to the GitHub account associated with your RolePlugin sign-in. If
/plugin marketplace add roleplugin/personas-marketplace fails with an access error:
- Confirm your subscription is actually active (check your account page).
- Confirm you are signed in to RolePlugin with the identity you expect GitHub access to be tied to.
- If access still has not arrived after your subscription went active, use the download route in the meantime, it needs no GitHub access at all.
/plugin marketplace add or /plugin install fails with an authentication error
This almost always means your local environment is not authenticated to GitHub. Claude Code needs GitHub
credentials available to it, for example through gh auth login, or a GITHUB_TOKEN / GH_TOKEN set in
your shell environment. Authenticate, then retry the command.
I downloaded a persona, now what do I do with the zip
Extract it into ~/.claude/skills/:
unzip <persona>-<version>.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/See Installing via download for the full walkthrough.
I don't see an update I know shipped
- Marketplace route: updates land automatically. If you still don't see it, run
/plugin install <persona>@personas-marketplaceagain to force a re-sync. - Download route: nothing updates automatically. Go back to your library and download the latest zip, updates only land when you manually re-download and re-extract. See Keeping personas updated.
Which version of Claude Code do I need
Personas install as standard Claude Code skills. Use a current install of Claude Code; if
/plugin marketplace add or /plugin install is not recognized as a command, update Claude Code to a
recent version first.
The persona's help guide isn't coming up
Confirm the install actually completed (see Verifying an install), then start a fresh Claude Code session, installed skills apply to new conversations. If it still does not respond, double-check you are asking about work that persona actually covers, its capability list is on the persona's detail page in your library.
