claude-plugins-official
Official, Anthropic-managed directory of high quality Claude Code Plugins.
The Claude Plugins Official directory is Anthropic's managed marketplace of vetted Claude Code plugins, housing both internal and community-contributed extensions. It provides a centralized discovery and installation mechanism for plugins that add slash commands, MCP servers, agents, and skills to Claude Code. Developers can browse and install plugins directly via Claude Code's plugin system using simple slash commands, with quality controls ensuring third-party submissions meet security and functionality standards. The repository defines a standardized plugin structure and supports both traditional manifest-based plugins and skill-bundle plugins that package multiple agent skills from upstream repositories.
