About claude-plugins-official

claude-plugins-official is an Anthropic-managed directory of plugins for Claude Code, hosted on GitHub. It organizes entries into two folders: /plugins for plugins developed and maintained by Anthropic, and /external_plugins for third-party plugins from partners and the community.

Visitors can browse the folders to review documentation, metadata, and source files for each plugin. Plugins can be installed through Claude Code's plugin system by running /plugin install {plugin-name}@claude-plugins-official or by browsing in /plugin > Discover. Each plugin follows a standard layout that may include plugin.json metadata, slash commands, agents, skills, and optional MCP server configuration. Contributors can review the example plugin and submission information for internal and external entries.
