Quick Start

Install a plugin:

/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.

🎓 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:

---
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

/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

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.
