01

Understand Claude plugins

A plugin is a package that adds new abilities to Claude Code. A single plugin can bundle:

  • Skills
  • Slash commands
  • Subagents
  • Hooks that run at set points
  • MCP servers that connect external tools

As of October 2026, Anthropic’s official marketplace, claude-plugins-official, listed more than 300 plugins. Every plugin in this guide comes from it.

Install a plugin for a job you do often. Remove it once you stop.

02

Install a plugin

In Claude Code, run /plugin to browse the marketplace, or install one directly:

/plugin install frontend-design@claude-plugins-official

Run /plugin again to view, disable, or uninstall your plugins. A plugin that connects to a service needs your account with that service.

Stay safe with plugins

  • Install only trusted plugins from sources you know
  • Read what a plugin contains before you install it
  • Check what each connected service can reach
  • Remove plugins you have stopped using
  • Keep secrets out of your prompts and plugin settings

Anthropic notes that it cannot verify third-party plugins work as intended or will stay unchanged. Review them as you would any software you install.

13

Avoid plugin overload

  • Every plugin adds instructions and tools Claude has to weigh
  • Overlapping plugins can blur which tool Claude should use
  • Install for a real workflow, test it, then keep it or remove it

Five plugins you use every day beat thirty you forgot you installed.

The golden rule

Do not collect plugins. Install the one that removes the task you repeat most this week.

  • Build
  • Review
  • Secure
  • Customize
  • Docs
  • Connect
  • Design

Start today with Frontend Design or Code Review. Add the next plugin only when you know exactly what it will do for you.
