Marketplaces
Plugins are installed, never copied into this repository. A vendored plugin never
receives upstream fixes and silently rots.
This repository is a marketplace
/plugin marketplace add <your-org>/awesome-agents
/plugin install agent-workflow@awesome-agents # commands + skills
/plugin install security-team@awesome-agents # one team's agents
One plugin per team, plus agent-workflow for the shared commands and skills.
plugins/ and .claude-plugin/marketplace.json are generated — run python3 scripts/generate.py.
Official Anthropic marketplaces
Claude Code adds claude-plugins-official automatically on first interactive start.
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
/plugin # browse and install
What to install, by gap
These fill gaps this roster deliberately does not cover: vendor-specific tooling and
live data access. Verify the plugin still exists with /plugin before recommending it —
this table was accurate when written and marketplaces change.

The division of labour
A plugin supplies tools and data access. This roster supplies judgement.
User: "Why did checkout latency spike at 14:00?"
datadog plugin → fetches the traces and metrics (capability)
site-reliability-eng → reads them, forms a hypothesis,
checks it against the deploy log,
states what is verified vs inferred (judgement)
Neither alone is enough. The plugin without the agent returns a wall of metrics.
The agent without the plugin reasons about data it cannot see — which is the failure
mode you most want to avoid.
Security
Marketplace plugins are third-party code with tool access running in your repository.
- Read the source before installing anything that touches production credentials, deploys, or customer data.
- Prefer vendor-official plugins (
datadog, mongodb) over community forks of the same thing.
- A plugin that bundles MCP servers can make network calls you did not initiate. Check what hosts.
- Install at the narrowest scope that works — project over user, when the plugin is project-specific.
Anti-patterns
| Anti-pattern |
Why it fails |
Copying a plugin's files into .claude/ |
No updates, no security fixes, silent divergence |
| Installing a plugin because the name matched |
Plugins carry tool permissions; read first |
| Installing 20 plugins "to be ready" |
Each adds context and tool surface; install on demand |
| Assuming a plugin replaces an agent |
It supplies data, not the decision about what the data means |
| Recommending from memory |
Marketplaces change. Check /plugin first. |
