Editor's note
This repository is the official Anthropic-managed marketplace for Claude Code plugins, hosting both internal Anthropic-developed plugins under `/plugins` and vetted third-party contributions under `/external_plugins`. Each plugin follows a standardized directory structure that can include a `plugin.json` metadata manifest, an `.mcp.json` MCP server configuration, slash commands, agent definitions, and skill definitions. Installation works directly within Claude Code using the `/plugin install` command or the `/plugin > Discover` browser. A notable feature is support for skill-bundle plugins, which allows marketplace entries to declare individual `SKILL.md`-based skills from external repositories without requiring a full plugin manifest, registering each skill under the `<plugin-name>:<skill-name>` namespace. External contributors can submit plugins through a dedicated submission form, subject to quality and security review. The directory primarily serves Claude Code users looking to extend the tool's capabilities, as well as developers and partners building integrations on top of Claude's MCP and skills infrastructure.
24 items in this repository
Manage Telegram channel access — approve pairings, edit allowlists, set DM/group policy. Use when the user asks to pair, approve someone, check who's allowed, or change policy for the Telegram channel.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an agent", "add an agent", "write a subagent", "agent frontmatter", "when to use description", "agent examples", "agent tools", "agent colors", "autonomous agent", or needs guidance on agent structure, system prompts, triggering conditions, or agent development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
This skill should be used when the user wants to build an "MCP app", add "interactive UI" or "widgets" to an MCP server, "render components in chat", build "MCP UI resources", make a tool that shows a "form", "picker", "dashboard" or "confirmation dialog" inline in the conversation, or mentions "apps SDK" in the context of MCP. Use AFTER the build-mcp-server skill has settled the deployment model, or when the user already knows they want UI widgets.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "build an MCP server", "create an MCP", "make an MCP integration", "wrap an API for Claude", "expose tools to Claude", "make an MCP app", or discusses building something with the Model Context Protocol. It is the entry point for MCP server development — it interrogates the user about their use case, determines the right deployment model (remote HTTP, MCPB, local stdio), picks a tool-design pattern, and hands off to specialized skills.
This skill should be used when the user wants to "package an MCP server", "bundle an MCP", "make an MCPB", "ship a local MCP server", "distribute a local MCP", discusses ".mcpb files", mentions bundling a Node or Python runtime with their MCP server, or needs an MCP server that interacts with the local filesystem, desktop apps, or OS and must be installable without the user having Node/Python set up.
Iterate on the Cardputer-Adv MicroPython app bundle (Claude Buddy, Snake, Hello) after the device is already provisioned via m5-onboard. Use when the user wants to add a new app, push a single changed .py without re-flashing, watch device serial logs, or run a one-shot REPL command. Trigger on "add an app", "push to the cardputer", "tail the device", "run on the device", or follow-up work after /maker-setup.
Analyze a codebase and recommend Claude Code automations (hooks, subagents, skills, plugins, MCP servers). Use when user asks for automation recommendations, wants to optimize their Claude Code setup, mentions improving Claude Code workflows, asks how to first set up Claude Code for a project, or wants to know what Claude Code features they should use.
Audit and improve CLAUDE.md files in repositories. Use when user asks to check, audit, update, improve, or fix CLAUDE.md files. Scans for all CLAUDE.md files, evaluates quality against templates, outputs quality report, then makes targeted updates. Also use when the user mentions "CLAUDE.md maintenance" or "project memory optimization".
The Claude Security menu — pick a job: scan the codebase (the whole repository or a scoped part of it), scan changes (this branch's or a pull request's diff, or one commit), or suggest patches (findings turned into targeted patch files, each verified by a panel of agents, that you apply when you choose).
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a slash command", "add a command", "write a custom command", "define command arguments", "use command frontmatter", "organize commands", "create command with file references", "interactive command", "use AskUserQuestion in command", or needs guidance on slash command structure, YAML frontmatter fields, dynamic arguments, bash execution in commands, user interaction patterns, or command development best practices for Claude Code.
Set up the Telegram channel — save the bot token and review access policy. Use when the user pastes a Telegram bot token, asks to configure Telegram, asks "how do I set this up" or "who can reach me," or wants to check channel status.
An example user-invoked skill that demonstrates frontmatter options and the skills/<name>/SKILL.md layout
This skill should be used when the user asks to "demonstrate skills", "show skill format", "create a skill template", or discusses skill development patterns. Provides a reference template for creating Claude Code plugin skills.
Guidance for distinctive, intentional visual design when building new UI or reshaping an existing one. Helps with aesthetic direction, typography, and making choices that don't read as templated defaults.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hook", "add a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop hook", "validate tool use", "implement prompt-based hooks", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "set up event-driven automation", "block dangerous commands", or mentions hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionStart, SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, Notification). Provides comprehensive guidance for creating and implementing Claude Code plugin hooks with focus on advanced prompt-based hooks API.
End-to-end onboarding for a freshly-plugged-in M5Stack ESP32 device (Cardputer, Cardputer-Adv, Core, CoreS3, Stick) — detect on USB, flash UIFlow 2.0 firmware, and install the Claude Buddy MicroPython app bundle. Use whenever the user plugs in or wants to flash/provision/reset an M5Stack or ESP32 board, or says "m5-onboard go".
Solve competition math problems (IMO, Putnam, USAMO, AIME) with adversarial
This skill should be used when the user asks to "add MCP server", "integrate MCP", "configure MCP in plugin", "use .mcp.json", "set up Model Context Protocol", "connect external service", mentions "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} with MCP", or discusses MCP server types (SSE, stdio, HTTP, WebSocket). Provides comprehensive guidance for integrating Model Context Protocol servers into Claude Code plugins for external tool and service integration.
Creates interactive HTML playgrounds — self-contained single-file explorers that let users configure something visually through controls, see a live preview, and copy out a prompt. Use when the user asks to make a playground, explorer, or interactive tool for a topic.
This skill should be used when the user asks about "plugin settings", "store plugin configuration", "user-configurable plugin", ".local.md files", "plugin state files", "read YAML frontmatter", "per-project plugin settings", or wants to make plugin behavior configurable. Documents the .claude/plugin-name.local.md pattern for storing plugin-specific configuration with YAML frontmatter and markdown content.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a plugin", "scaffold a plugin", "understand plugin structure", "organize plugin components", "set up plugin.json", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "add commands/agents/skills/hooks", "configure auto-discovery", or needs guidance on plugin directory layout, manifest configuration, component organization, file naming conventions, or Claude Code plugin architecture best practices.
Generate and publish a project status artifact — an opinionated, tabbed status page for a project too big for one update (overview & success criteria, the workstream sequence, next steps, plus background, plan, risks & open questions, and decisions/FAQ when they earn a tab) — published with the built-in Artifact tool to a default-private claude.ai page the user can share with teammates. Use when a piece of work spans several workstreams and you want a shareable overview kept current. Each artifact is backed by a small per-project config in the plugin data dir, so refreshing it re-gathers live state, redeploys the same URL, and reports only the delta. For software projects whose workstreams are PRs, also read swe.md (the X.Y PR-numbering convention; pulling PR state with gh/git; a per-PR detail block). Needs the built-in Artifact tool (claude.ai login). Not for single-PR changes or public docs.
Generate a personal Claude Code usage & impact report ("receipts") from this machine's local session transcripts — for justifying Claude Code usage/spend to a manager, self-review, or "what have I been using this for" check-ins. Mines ~/.claude/projects locally (no extra API calls beyond one final write-up), cross-references local git history, and writes a markdown report plus a self-contained HTML receipt to your home directory. Use when the user asks for "receipts", an "impact report", "usage report", wants to "show my Claude Code activity", "prove the value of Claude Code", or runs `/receipts`.
Generate an explorable HTML report of Claude Code session usage (tokens, cache, subagents, skills, expensive prompts) from ~/.claude/projects transcripts.
MCP Servers overview
Claude Code Plugins Directory
A curated directory of high-quality plugins for Claude Code.
⚠️ Important: Make sure you trust a plugin before installing, updating, or using it. Anthropic does not control what MCP servers, files, or other software are included in plugins and cannot verify that they will work as intended or that they won't change. See each plugin's homepage for more information.
Structure
/plugins- Internal plugins developed and maintained by Anthropic/external_plugins- Third-party plugins from partners and the community
Installation
Plugins can be installed directly from this marketplace via Claude Code's plugin system.
To install, run /plugin install {plugin-name}@claude-plugins-official
or browse for the plugin in /plugin > Discover
Contributing
Internal Plugins
Internal plugins are developed by Anthropic team members. See /plugins/example-plugin for a reference implementation.
External Plugins
Third-party partners can submit plugins for inclusion in the marketplace. External plugins must meet quality and security standards for approval. To submit a new plugin, use the plugin directory submission form.
Plugin Structure
Each plugin follows a standard structure:
plugin-name/
├── .claude-plugin/
│ └── plugin.json # Plugin metadata (required)
├── .mcp.json # MCP server configuration (optional)
├── commands/ # Slash commands (optional)
├── agents/ # Agent definitions (optional)
├── skills/ # Skill definitions (optional)
└── README.md # DocumentationPlugin names are immutable
The name field in a marketplace entry is an immutable slug. Once a plugin has been published, its name must not change — users have it installed under that slug, and renaming it breaks their install with a plugin-not-found error.
To change how a plugin is labeled in the UI, set or update
displayNameinstead.If a rename is genuinely unavoidable, add an entry to the top-level
renamesmap in.claude-plugin/marketplace.jsonso existing installs auto-migrate:
"renames": {
"old-name": "new-name"
}The Claude Code plugin loader reads this map and transparently rewrites the old slug to the new one on the user's next sync.
Skill-bundle plugins
When a plugin's source repository ships skills (SKILL.md files) without a .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest, the marketplace entry can declare the skills directly using strict: false and an explicit skills array.
{
"name": "example-bundle",
"description": "Brief description of the bundled skills.",
"author": { "name": "Author Name" },
"category": "development",
"source": {
"source": "git-subdir",
"url": "https://github.com/example-org/sdk.git",
"path": "packages/agent-skills",
"ref": "main",
"sha": "<commit sha>"
},
"strict": false,
"skills": [
"./skill-a",
"./skill-b",
"./skill-c"
],
"homepage": "https://github.com/example-org/sdk"
}Each path in skills is relative to source.path and points at a directory containing a SKILL.md. Paths can reach deeper than a single level — for example, ["./libA/skill-1", "./libB/skill-2"] exposes a curated subset across multiple library subdirectories. Each skill is registered as : in Claude Code.
For the underlying schema, see Strict mode in the marketplace documentation.
