Best for
Developers using Claude Code who need a centrally curated directory to discover and install internal or third-party plugins.
Key capabilities

Defines a standard structure for Claude Code plugins including metadata, MCP configuration, commands, agents, and skills.
Supports declaring plugins from source repositories containing SKILL.md files without requiring a direct manifest.
Limitations and risks
Anthropic does not control what MCP servers, files, or other software are included in third-party plugins and cannot verify that they will work or will not change.
Users must ensure they trust a plugin before installing, updating, or using it.
Getting started
Setup difficulty is unclear because installation relies entirely on the Claude Code target platform's internal plugin system. A documented first success path is not provided.
