Made by anthropics ## About ### What it is The Claude Code Plugins Directory is Anthropic’s official plugin marketplace for Claude Code. The repository is the catalog. One file, .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, lists each plugin and says where to fetch it. A plugin is a folder of skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers or language servers that Claude Code loads as one unit. Claude Code’s docs say it adds this marketplace, named claude-plugins-official, the first time you start an interactive terminal session. They also say most of what it lists comes from partners and other authors, with a smaller set that Anthropic maintains. The marketplace is added in your first terminal session → You run /plugin and browse, or name a plugin → The details pane lists what the plugin will install → You pick a scope: user, project or local → Its skills appear as /plugin-name:skill-name ### Who it suits Anyone who runs Claude Code and would rather install ready-made skills, subagents, hooks, MCP connectors or language servers than write them. Teams use it as one catalog to install from. Plugin authors read it for the layout of a marketplace entry and for the example plugin. Who uses it, and how | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Software teams | Developers on a shared repository | Install a plugin at project scope, so the repository’s settings turn it on for everyone | A team lead installs commit-commands at project scope and commits .claude/settings.json, and each teammate runs claude plugin install commit-commands@claude-plugins-official --scope project once on their own machine. | | Language-specific work | Go, Python, Rust or TypeScript developers | Add a language server plugin so Claude sees the errors its own edits cause | A TypeScript developer installs typescript-language-server, then the typescript-lsp plugin, and sees a diagnostics line under an edit that introduced a type error. | | Shared tools | Developers who work in GitHub, GitLab, Linear or Terraform | Add the connector plugin from the external\_plugins folder | A developer installs the github plugin so Claude can open issues and review pull requests. | | Plugin and MCP authors | Developers who build for Claude Code | Read the example plugin, or install plugin-dev, skill-creator or mcp-server-dev | An author opens plugins/example-plugin to see where skills, commands and .mcp.json go. | | IT and security | Admins who vet tools | Review a plugin’s details pane and source first, and set rules in managed settings | An admin allowlists the official marketplace and force-enables one plugin for every member. | Skip it if you only want one skill. The docs say a skill saved in \~/.claude/skills/ is available in every project on your machine, and it needs no plugin. Skip it too if you use Claude in chat only: Anthropic sends claude.ai chat and Cowork readers to a separate plugins page. ### Where to use it The docs give a route for each of these places. - Terminal: /plugin to browse, /plugin install with a name, or claude plugin install from the shell - Desktop app: the + button next to the prompt box, then Add plugins, in local and SSH sessions - VS Code: /plugins in the prompt box opens Manage plugins - JetBrains IDEs: the terminal steps, run in the IDE’s terminal - Scripts and claude -p: the claude plugin commands, since /plugin does not run there - Agent SDK: a local plugin folder in its plugins option, so download a plugin first - Not cloud sessions: they load no plugins from your machine or your repository’s settings What is in the repository | Where | What it holds | Examples | | --- | --- | --- | | .claude-plugin/marketplace.json | The catalog: each plugin’s name, description, category and source | The docs call this file the catalog itself | | plugins/ | Plugins Anthropic develops and maintains | commit-commands, code-review, feature-dev, frontend-design, skill-creator, plugin-dev, and the language server plugins | | external\_plugins/ | Third-party plugins from partners and the community | github, gitlab, linear, playwright, context7, terraform | | Other repositories | Plugins the catalog points to, each entry naming a commit | Every such entry in the file read on 3 November 2026 names one | ### How to set it up Get it saves a zip of Mindket’s setup notes in your downloads folder, with the steps for each place from Anthropic’s README and docs. You need Claude Code, and the plugin you pick may need more. What you need first | Need | Detail | | --- | --- | | Claude Code | In a terminal, in the desktop app’s Code tab or in the VS Code extension | | A recent version | The one-line add-and-install needs v2.1.292 in a shell and v2.1.275 in a session | | The plugin’s own needs | /commit-push-pr needs the GitHub CLI, signed in, and a remote named origin. A language server plugin needs its server program on your PATH | 1. Start Claude Code in your project with claude. On your first interactive terminal session it adds the marketplace for you. 2. Run the install line with a plugin’s name. It opens the plugin’s details and installs nothing yet. 3. Read the details pane, then pick a scope. It can be for you, for everyone on the repository, or for you in this repository only. 4. Read the last sentence of the summary. “Plugin is now active.” means you can use it, and “Run /reload-plugins to apply.” means a reload is needed. 5. Type / and look for the plugin’s skills as /plugin-name:skill-name. ```text /plugin install commit-commands@claude-plugins-official ``` If the install says the marketplace claude-plugins-official was not found, add it by hand. A setup script adds it first. A machine with no interactive session has not registered it. ```sh claude plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official claude plugin install commit-commands@claude-plugins-official ``` ### How to use it Once a plugin is installed, its skills run as slash commands, and Claude can load them on its own when your request fits. Update, switch off or remove a plugin from your shell. ```sh claude plugin list claude plugin update commit-commands@claude-plugins-official claude plugin disable commit-commands@claude-plugins-official claude plugin uninstall commit-commands@claude-plugins-official ``` The commit-commands README names three commands. The docs show the first as /commit-commands:commit once installed, so type / and read the list for the others. What commit-commands gives you | Command | What it does | Needs | | --- | --- | --- | | /commit | Reads your changes and recent commit messages, stages the relevant files and makes a commit in the repository’s style | Git, installed and configured | | /commit-push-pr | Makes a branch if you are on main, commits, pushes and opens a pull request with gh pr create | The GitHub CLI, signed in, and a remote named origin | | /clean\_gone | Removes local branches whose remote branch is gone, with their worktrees | A Git repository with a remote | ### Example You have uncommitted changes in a Git repository and want a commit message in the repository’s own style. You install the plugin and type its commit command. ```text /plugin install commit-commands@claude-plugins-official /commit-commands:commit ``` The plugin README says Claude reviews the staged and unstaged changes, looks at recent commit messages to match your style, drafts a message, stages the relevant files and creates the commit. It says the command avoids committing files with secrets, such as .env and credentials.json. Claude then shows you the commit status. ### For newcomers and experts **If you are new.** A marketplace is a catalog, not a store. You add it once, then install plugins from it by name. A plugin is a folder of instructions and settings, and some also run programs on your computer. Start with one plugin. Read its details pane before you choose a scope, and use local scope to keep a trial to one repository. **For experts.** An entry in the catalog uses one of three source shapes: a path inside this repository, a url source, or a git-subdir source with a path inside another repository. In the file read on 3 November 2026, every entry that points elsewhere names a commit in a sha field. A nightly workflow opens one pull request per outside plugin whose upstream has moved past its pinned commit. Its comments say it runs claude plugin validate on the new commit first. Another workflow runs a Claude policy scan of changed outside entries, and its comments call the scan a required check on main. Plugin names are immutable slugs. A rename goes in the top-level renames map so that existing installs migrate on the next sync, while displayName changes only the label. A plugin without a manifest can be a skill bundle: strict set to false and an explicit skills array, each skill registered as plugin-name:skill-name. The old claude-code-plugins marketplace in anthropics/claude-code is deprecated, and the docs say its plugins now update from this repository. ralph-wiggum became ralph-loop. ### Good to know A plugin runs with your permissions. Read it first. - Trust: the README says Anthropic does not control what MCP servers, files or other software a plugin includes, and cannot verify that they work as intended or that they will not change. The docs say hooks and MCP servers run as you, outside the sandbox. Mindket’s notes list the steps for reviewing one - Updates: auto-update is on by default for this marketplace, so a plugin you reviewed can change on disk. Switch it off per marketplace in /plugin, under Marketplaces - Cost: each enabled plugin adds its skill and agent names and descriptions to every turn, and its servers run in every session. Open a plugin from the Marketplaces tab in /plugin, or with its install line, and the details pane shows a Context cost estimate for plugins from this marketplace - Language servers: a language server plugin does not include the server program. Install the program first - Limits: cloud sessions load no plugins from your machine, and the desktop app has none in WSL sessions - Submitting: the README sends partners to a submission form, and the repository’s own workflow closes most pull requests from outsiders. The docs say the claude.ai directory portal does not take submissions for this marketplace - License: Apache-2.0 for the repository. The LICENSE file is the standard Apache License 2.0 text, unchanged. The README says to see each plugin for its own LICENSE. The claude-security plugin’s is proprietary to Anthropic, and for plugins listed from other repositories, read the LICENSE in each one’s own repository ## README ````markdown # Claude Code Plugins Directory: setup notes This kit holds setup notes only. Mindket wrote them. The directory itself is Anthropic's repository: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official These notes are not made or endorsed by Anthropic. The repository's description reads "Official, Anthropic-managed directory of high quality Claude Code Plugins." Its README opens with "A curated directory of high-quality plugins for Claude Code." Source: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official/blob/main/README.md Every page named below was read on 3 November 2026. License: Apache-2.0, as the GitHub API names it. The LICENSE file (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official/blob/main/LICENSE) is the standard Apache License 2.0 text, unchanged. The README says "Please see each linked plugin for the relevant LICENSE file." Two cases differ from the root file: - The `claude-security` plugin's own LICENSE (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official/blob/main/plugins/claude-security/LICENSE) is not Apache-2.0. It says the software "is proprietary to Anthropic, PBC and its affiliates" and grants a limited license for internal use with Claude Code or other Anthropic products. - Plugins the catalog lists from other repositories fall under the README line above: read each one's own LICENSE before you rely on it. ## What this is The repository is a plugin marketplace: a catalog, not a hosted store. The catalog is the file `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`, which lists each plugin and where to fetch it. Claude Code's docs say that file "is the catalog itself". Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins/anthropic-marketplaces.md A plugin is a directory of skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers or other components that Claude Code installs and loads as one unit. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins.md The README gives the folders: - `/plugins`: "Internal plugins developed and maintained by Anthropic" - `/external_plugins`: "Third-party plugins from partners and the community" The docs add that "Most of what it lists comes from partners and other authors rather than from Anthropic", and that the catalog changes often, so their page does not list it. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins/anthropic-marketplaces.md ## What installs - Nothing, until you choose a plugin. Registering the marketplace only adds its catalog to Claude Code. A plugin installs one at a time, by name. - Each plugin adds its own skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers or language server settings. The plugin's details pane lists them under "Will install". Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins/install.md ## What you need first - Claude Code: in a terminal, in the desktop app's Code tab or in the VS Code extension. See the per-place notes below. - Claude Code v2.1.292 or later for the one-line `claude plugin install --marketplace ` form, and v2.1.275 or later for its in-session form. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins/install.md - What the plugin itself asks for. For example, the `commit-commands` README says `/commit-push-pr` needs the GitHub CLI (`gh`) installed and signed in, and a remote named `origin`. A language server plugin needs its server program on your PATH (setup/language-servers.md). Source: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official/blob/main/plugins/commit-commands/README.md ## Main install command Run it inside a Claude Code session. In a session it does not install right away: it opens the plugin's details so you can review it and choose a scope first. ``` /plugin install commit-commands@claude-plugins-official ``` Replace `commit-commands` with any plugin's name. Source: README (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official/blob/main/README.md) and https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins/install.md ## Per-place notes - setup/claude-code.md: the terminal. Add the marketplace, browse, install, scopes, update, disable and remove - setup/desktop-app.md: the desktop app's plugin browser - setup/vs-code.md: the VS Code extension's Manage plugins dialog and its install link - setup/jetbrains-scripts-and-sdk.md: JetBrains IDEs, `claude -p` and scripts, the Agent SDK and cloud sessions - setup/language-servers.md: the code intelligence plugins and the server program each one needs - setup/trust-and-security.md: what a plugin can do, and how to review one before you install it - setup/make-or-submit-a-plugin.md: the plugin layout the README gives, plugin names, renames, and how plugins get in ## Update or remove Plugins from this marketplace update on their own: the docs say auto-update is on by default for `claude-plugins-official`. To update one by hand: ``` claude plugin update commit-commands@claude-plugins-official ``` To remove one: ``` claude plugin uninstall commit-commands@claude-plugins-official ``` To remove the marketplace and every plugin you installed from it: ``` claude plugin marketplace remove claude-plugins-official ``` Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins/install.md and https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins/cli-reference.md ## Other Anthropic marketplaces This repository is one of two general-purpose marketplaces the docs name. The other, `anthropics/claude-plugins-community`, holds "Third-party plugins that their authors submitted to Anthropic". It is not registered until you add it: see setup/claude-code.md.
