## Quick Start
**Install a plugin:**
```bash
/plugin marketplace add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins
/plugin install devops-automation-pack@claude-code-plugins-plus
```
> Already using an older install? Run `/plugin marketplace remove claude-code-plugins` and re-add with the command above to switch to the new `claude-code-plugins-plus` slug. Existing plugins keep working either way.
**Browse the catalog:**
Visit **[Claude Code Plugins Marketplace](https://claudecodeplugins.io/)** (CLI slug `claude-code-plugins-plus`) or explore [`plugins/`](./plugins/)

## 🎓 Understanding Agent Skills
**What are Agent Skills?** They're instruction manuals that teach Claude Code **when** and **how** to use your installed plugins automatically.
### How It Works: The 4-Step Flow
```
1. DISCOVERY (Marketplace)
└─ You browse claudecodeplugins.io
└─ Find "ansible-playbook-creator"
└─ Install: /plugin install ansible-playbook-creator@claude-code-plugins-plus
2. INSTALLATION (Files Copied)
└─ Plugin files copied to your machine
└─ Including skills/skill-adapter/SKILL.md ← The instruction manual!
3. STARTUP (Claude Learns)
└─ Claude Code reads SKILL.md frontmatter from ALL installed plugins
└─ Loads trigger phrases: "ansible playbook", "automate deployment"
└─ Now Claude knows this plugin exists and when to use it
4. USAGE (Automatic Activation)
└─ You: "Create an Ansible playbook for Apache"
└─ Claude: Sees "ansible playbook" trigger → reads full SKILL.md
└─ Claude: Activates plugin with correct workflow automatically!
```
### Real Example: Before vs After
**WITHOUT Agent Skills:**
```
You: "Create ansible playbook"
Claude: "I have ansible-playbook-creator installed somewhere...
Let me manually search and figure out how to use it..."
Result: ❌ Plugin sits unused, you have to name it explicitly
```
**WITH Agent Skills:**
```
You: "Create ansible playbook"
Claude: *Recognizes trigger phrase instantly*
*Reads SKILL.md for workflow*
"I'll use ansible-playbook-creator for this!"
*Automatically applies best practices*
Result: ✅ Instant activation, correct usage, zero thinking
```
### What's in a SKILL.md?
Each plugin gets ONE skill file teaching Claude:
```yaml
---
name: Creating Ansible Playbooks
description: |
Automates Ansible playbook creation. Use when you need to automate
server configurations or deployments. Trigger with "ansible playbook"
or "create playbook for [task]".
---
## How It Works
1. Receives user request with infrastructure details
2. Generates production-ready Ansible playbook
3. Includes best practices and security configurations
## When to Use This Skill
- Automate server configuration tasks
- Deploy applications consistently
- Create repeatable infrastructure setups
## Examples
User: "Create ansible playbook to install Apache on Ubuntu"
Skill activates → Generates playbook → Ready to deploy
```
### Key Points
- ✅ **Not creating new plugins** - Adding instruction manuals to existing ones
- ✅ **Automatic activation** - Claude recognizes trigger phrases
- ✅ **Best practices built-in** - Each skill teaches optimal workflows
- ✅ **One skill per plugin** - Comprehensive instruction manual
- ✅ **Only for installed plugins** - Not for discovering new ones
**Status:** Batch-generating Agent Skills for all 229 plugins using Vertex AI. Progress tracked in audit database with full backups.

### Skills Powerkit - First Agent Skills Plugin
**NEW:** The first plugin using Anthropic's Agent Skills feature (launched Oct 16, 2025). Say "create a plugin" or "validate this plugin" and Claude automatically uses these model-invoked capabilities:
- 🛠️ Plugin Creator - Auto-scaffolds plugins
- ✅ Plugin Validator - Auto-validates structure
- 📦 Marketplace Manager - Auto-manages catalog
- 🔍 Plugin Auditor - Auto-audits security
- 🔢 Version Bumper - Auto-handles versions
```bash
/plugin install skills-powerkit@claude-code-plugins-plus
```
### Skill Enhancers - Automation for Claude's Skills
**NEW CATEGORY:** Plugins that extend Claude's built-in Skills (web_search, web_fetch) with automation. Claude searches → Plugin acts.
Example: `web-to-github-issue` - Research → GitHub tickets
[Explore Skill Enhancers →](plugins/skill-enhancers/)

## Understanding Plugin Types
This marketplace contains **two types of plugins** that work differently:
### 1. AI Instruction Plugins (98% of marketplace)
- **What they are**: Markdown instructions that guide Claude's behavior
- **How they work**: Tell Claude HOW to perform tasks using its built-in capabilities
- **Examples**: DevOps pack, Security pack, API development tools
- **Count**: 249 plugins
- **No external code execution** - work entirely through Claude's interpretation
### 2. MCP Server Plugins (2% of marketplace)
- **What they are**: TypeScript/JavaScript applications
- **How they work**: Run as separate Node.js processes that Claude can communicate with
- **Examples**: project-health-auditor, conversational-api-debugger, domain-memory-agent
- **Count**: 5 plugins (21 MCP tools total)
- **Actual compiled code** - 13-26KB of executable JavaScript per plugin
---
### 🧠 Agent Skills - A Feature, Not a Type
**185 plugins (73% of marketplace) include Agent Skills** - automatic capabilities that Claude activates based on conversation context.
- **What they are**: SKILL.md files that teach Claude when and how to use the plugin
- **How they work**: Claude reads trigger phrases and activates skills automatically
- **Example**: Say "create a plugin" and Claude uses the Skills Powerkit automatically
- **Invocation**: Automatic - no `/command` needed
- **Launched**: October 16, 2025 by Anthropic
**Skills vs Commands:** Commands require explicit `/command` trigger. Skills activate automatically based on what you're asking for.
**Note:** Plugins can bundle Skills, Commands, Agents, and MCP servers together. Agent Skills are a feature that enhances any plugin type.

### No Built-in Monetization
**There is currently no monetization mechanism** for Claude Code plugins. All plugins in the ecosystem are free and open-source. See [Monetization Alternatives](docs/monetization-alternatives.md) for external revenue strategies.
### Beta Status
Claude Code plugins are in **public beta** (October 2025). Features and best practices may evolve. This marketplace will stay updated with the latest changes.
