What problem it solves

Users need a way to discover and install plugins for Claude Code while understanding which plugins are maintained by Anthropic and which come from third parties. The directory also helps plugin authors follow a standard structure and marketplace naming requirements.

Key features

• Curated Plugin Directory — The repository organizes plugins into internal Anthropic-maintained plugins and third-party plugins from partners and the community.

  Source: README

• Direct Installation — Plugins can be installed through Claude Code's plugin system using a plugin-specific command or the Discover interface.

  Source: README

• Standard Plugin Structure — Plugins use a documented layout with required metadata and optional MCP server configuration, commands, agents, skills, and documentation.

  Source: README, plugins, external_plugins

• Immutable Plugin Names — Published plugin names remain unchanged so existing installations continue to resolve. Display labels can be updated independently, and an explicit rename map supports migration when a slug must change.

  Source: README

• Skill-Bundle Plugin Support — Marketplace entries can expose skills directly when a source repository ships `SKILL.md` files without a plugin manifest, using a non-strict declaration and an explicit skills array.

Who it may suit

Claude Code users may suit users who want to discover plugins through an Anthropic-managed marketplace. Plugin authors may suit teams that want to package commands, agents, skills, or MCP server configuration using the documented structure.

Topics to discuss

• Which plugin categories should be added to the directory next?

• How can the submission process make plugin security expectations clearer to contributors?

• What examples or templates would help new plugin authors get started?
