A study of 1,926 marketplace repositories mined 8,351 plugins and 77,773 commits across 2,018 marketplaces. Plugin-touching commit activity grew 8.8x in the six months after launch, feature commits run at 39.6% against 17.2% in conventional open source, and Claude co-authors 34.9% of all commits. The operational finding: most component types evolve independently, but inside skills directories the instruction file and the implementation script co-evolve above chance, with 78% of co-changes functionally coupled. Edit one without the other and you have a broken skill no type checker will catch.
