Claude Code is an AI-powered coding assistant that can be extended through plugins. Plugins can add custom commands, specialized agents, autonomous skills, event hooks, and integrations with external tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

• 🔌 Plugin Marketplace: Centralized catalog of plugins for various technologies
• 📦 Easy Installation: Simple commands to browse and install plugins
• 🛠️ Plugin Template: Comprehensive template demonstrating all plugin capabilities
• ✅ Validation Tools: Automated validation of plugin structure and configuration
• 📚 Documentation: Detailed guides for plugin development and contribution

Adding This Marketplace to Claude Code

```bash

/plugin marketplace add daniel/claude-configs

```

Browsing Available Plugins

```bash

/plugin

```

This will open the plugin browser where you can see all available plugins from this marketplace.

Installing a Plugin

```bash

/plugin install @claude-configs

```

Replace with the name of the plugin you want to install.

Verifying Installation

```bash

/help

```

This will show all available commands, including those added by your installed plugins.

Using the Plugin Template

This repository includes a comprehensive plugin template that demonstrates all available plugin features:

• Commands: Custom slash commands (/example)
• Agents: Specialized AI assistants (@example-agent)
• Skills: Autonomous capabilities that Claude uses automatically
• Hooks: Event handlers triggered by specific actions
• MCP Servers: External tool integrations

The template is located at [plugin-template/](./plugin-template/) and includes detailed documentation for each feature.

Plugin Structure

A complete Claude Code plugin follows this structure:

```

my-plugin/

├── .claude-plugin/

│ └── plugin.json # Plugin metadata (required)

├── commands/ # Custom slash commands (optional)

│ └── example-command.md

├── agents/ # Custom agents (optional)

│ └── example-agent.md

├── skills/ # Autonomous skills (optional)

│ └── example-skill.md

├── hooks/ # Event handlers (optional)

│ └── hooks.json

└── .mcp.json # MCP server config (optional)

```

Creating Your Own Plugin

1. Fork or use the template from [plugin-template/](./plugin-template/)
2. Create a new repository for your plugin
3. Customize the plugin.json with your plugin's metadata
4. Add your features (commands, agents, skills, hooks, MCP servers)
5. Test locally by adding your plugin repository to Claude Code
6. Submit to this marketplace by following the [Contributing Guide](./CONTRIBUTING.md)

Local Development

To test your plugin locally before publishing:

```bash

# Add your local plugin directory

/plugin marketplace add ./path/to/your-plugin

# Install the plugin

/plugin install your-plugin-name

# Verify it works

/help

```

This marketplace includes validation tools to ensure plugins meet quality standards.

Running Validation

```bash

# Install dependencies

npm install

# Run validation

npm run validate

```

The validation script checks:

• ✅ marketplace.json structure and schema compliance
• ✅ Plugin references and metadata validity
• ✅ JSON syntax in all configuration files
• ✅ Naming conventions (kebab-case)
• ✅ Version format (semver)
• ✅ Required fields presence

Currently, this marketplace contains:

• plugin-template: A comprehensive template demonstrating all plugin features

More plugins will be added as the marketplace grows. Check back regularly or [contribute your own](#contributing)!

Plugins are organized by technology and use case:

• Development Tools: Code analysis, testing, debugging
• Language Support: Technology-specific tools and integrations
• Workflow Automation: CI/CD, deployment, task automation
• Documentation: API docs, code comments, README generation
• Database Tools: Query builders, schema management
• Cloud Services: AWS, Azure, GCP integrations
• AI/ML: Model deployment, data science workflows

• Claude Code version 1.0.0 or higher
• Node.js 14+ (for validation scripts)
• Git (for installing plugins from repositories)

We welcome contributions! Please see our [Contributing Guide](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for details on:

• How to submit your plugin to the marketplace
• Plugin quality standards
• Code review process
• Security considerations
