Subject: [PATCH] Package the skills as a Claude Code plugin

Add .claude-plugin/plugin.json and a marketplace file so the 20 skills
install with `claude plugin install vigil@prathikcannotcode`. The plugin
declares no hooks: a plugin-wide write guard would block every edit in a
project that has no workspace layout. Guards, schema validation and the
exporters still need a Vigil workspace, and the README says so.

 # Changelog
 
+## Unreleased
+
+- Vigil installs as a Claude Code plugin: `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` and a marketplace file. Skills only. The hooks stay in the workspace, because a plugin-wide write guard would block every edit in a project with no layout.
+
 ## 0.3.1 (9 November 2026)
 
 - The README and disclaimer say it once and plainly: AI can make mistakes, and a licensed attorney should check every finding before you rely on it.
