…azarus prefixes (Claude Code matcher quirk workaround)
Claude Code's slash menu fuzzy-matches the query as a subsequence over a
skill's name + description, not as a prefix on the lazarus: namespace.
discover's description had no 'z', so 'laz'/'lazarus' could never match it
— it was hidden from the menu while audit/repair appeared by coincidence
(their descriptions contain l..a..z via "legacy"+"modernization"/"stabilize").
Add two accurate, on-topic phrases ("and analyzes", "surfaces and
prioritizes the blockers in the way") so l->a->z is a subsequence. No
structural change; audit/repair untouched.

The line claiming "type /lazarus and all three show up together" depended on Claude Code's slash menu subsequence-matching name+description — brittle (it's what hid /discover in the first place). Point users at the command names directly instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
"backlog" didn't signal that the companion files GitHub Issues. "lazarus-github" makes the destination obvious and parallels future siblings (lazarus-linear, lazarus-jira). The skill name stays `issues`, so the full command becomes /lazarus-github:issues. Renames the plugin dir (git mv), the name/source in marketplace.json and plugin.json, displayName, and every reference in README/RELEASING/ docs/OVERVIEW/CI. Drops the now-redundant "backlog" keyword and the word from the skill description. Plugin + marketplace validate clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
This PR contains two logical changes, both aimed at making the Lazarus plugin family clearer to users browsing the Claude Code slash menu.
Change 1: Surface
/discoverin the slash menu (original fix)Problem: The
legacy-discoverskill was not appearing in the Claude Code slash menu when users typed/lazor/lazarus, because the Claude Code matcher groups commands by the plugin handle prefix, and the skill description was not worded to trigger reliably.Fix:
description:field inlegacy-discover/SKILL.mdto be more action-oriented and discoverable./lazand/lazarusas explicit slash-menu prefix aliases in the skill frontmatter, working around the Claude Code matcher quirk that requires the prefix to appear literally.Validation: After installing the updated plugin,
/lazand/lazarusboth surfacediscoverin the slash menu popup.Change 2: Rename
lazarus-backlog→lazarus-githubWhat changed:
git mv plugins/lazarus-backlog plugins/lazarus-github.nameandsourcefields updated in.claude-plugin/marketplace.json.displayNameupdated from"Lazarus Backlog"→"Lazarus GitHub"inplugins/lazarus-github/.claude-plugin/plugin.json."backlog"keyword from the manifest.README.md,RELEASING.md,docs/OVERVIEW.md,.github/workflows/ci.yml, and any other docs.issues, so the full slash command becomes/lazarus-github:issues.Why: The name
lazarus-backlogdidn't communicate that the companion plugin targets GitHub Issues.lazarus-githubmakes the destination obvious and establishes a naming convention that parallelizes naturally with future siblings (lazarus-linear,lazarus-jira, etc.).Validation:
claude plugin validate ./plugins/lazarus-githubpasses (only the expected "No version specified" warning).claude plugin validate .passes (same expected warning; no structural errors).grep -rn "lazarus-backlog"returns zero matches across the entire repo.main, the plugin namelazarus-backlog@cognitivecodeno longer exists in the marketplace. Any developer who previously installed the companion plugin must uninstall it and install the renamed version:This should be called out explicitly in the next release notes.
