What it does
Claude Code is Anthropic's AI coding assistant. Plugins add new abilities to it, such as extra commands, specialised helper agents, skills and connections to outside tools.
This directory collects plugins made by Anthropic and others submitted by partners and the community. You can browse and install them from inside Claude Code.
The directory itself warns that Anthropic doesn't control what third-party plugins contain, so you should trust a plugin before installing it.
