Problem
CONTRIBUTING.md documents setup, commits (DCO), and the PR flow, but never tells a contributor how to load their working tree into a real project and exercise the skills they changed before opening a PR. The only adjacent hint lives in docs/CREATE_PLUGIN.md (Step 4), and it targets creating a new plugin, not iterating on the existing ones - and it never mentions the directory marketplace / .claude/settings.local.json pattern that lets you pin a personal project to a local checkout.
Expected
A "Test your changes locally" section in CONTRIBUTING.md covering:
- the Claude Code path (
/plugin marketplace add + /plugin install + /reload-plugins);
- pinning a personal project to the local checkout via a
directory marketplace in settings.local.json.
