anthropics/claude-plugins-official
Anthropic's official catalog for add-ons that plug new abilities into Claude Code
This repository is Anthropic's official, curated directory of plugins for its coding tool Claude Code. It separates plugins built in-house by Anthropic from third-party ones submitted by partners and the community. Plugins can be installed with a single slash command, and the repo lays out clear rules for plugin naming and structure.
What it does
- Anthropic's own plugins live in /plugins, while community and partner submissions go in /external_plugins
- Installation is a single command inside Claude Code: /plugin install {plugin-name}@claude-plugins-official
- A plugin's name (slug) is immutable once published; if a rename is needed, the old and new names are recorded in a renames map in marketplace.json so existing user installs migrate automatically
- Repositories that ship SKILL.md skill files without a plugin.json manifest can still be listed by setting strict:false and listing the skills explicitly in a skills array
- External plugins must pass quality and security review before being accepted, via a dedicated submission form
Why it matters
For anyone using Claude Code, this directory is the trusted starting point for finding extensions instead of hunting across random repos. Anthropic explicitly warns it does not vet what MCP servers or files a plugin actually runs, so users still need to check trust themselves.
