Claude Code names MCP tools as `mcp__<server-name>__<tool>` based on how the server is registered (e.g. `claude mcp add sourcegraph <url>` produces `mcp__sourcegraph__keyword_search`). The `sg_*` shorthand names used in this skill don't match any valid Claude Code MCP registration name — they silently fail with no error, making the skill non-functional. This PR renames all `sg_*` tool references to `mcp__sourcegraph__*` to match the standard Claude Code convention when the Sourcegraph MCP server is registered under the name "sourcegraph". Reported by CoreWeave while vendoring this skill into their internal Claude Code plugin marketplace.

Problem
Claude Code names MCP tools using the scheme
mcp__<server-name>__<tool>, where<server-name>is whatever was passed toclaude mcp add. For example:The
sg_*shorthand names in this skill (e.g.sg_keyword_search) don't match any valid Claude Code MCP registration name. There's no way to register a server that producessg_keyword_search— Claude Code always uses double underscores and themcp__prefix.Result: every tool call in the skill silently fails with no error. The skill appears to run but returns nothing.
Fix
Rename all
sg_*tool references tomcp__sourcegraph__*to match the standard Claude Code convention when the server is registered as"sourcegraph"(the typical name for the Sourcegraph MCP server).Files changed

If users register the server under a different name (e.g.
"sg"), they would needmcp__sg__*names instead. The README could document this — butsourcegraphis the conventional name used by the official Sourcegraph MCP server docs and setup scripts.Reported while vendoring this skill into a Claude Code plugin marketplace.
