plugin-audit
Keeps the gap between Anthropic's official marketplace and your installed plugin set visible and actionable, without reinstalling things you already have or surfacing language LSPs you'll never use.
When to run
- Monthly hygiene check.
- After a fresh clone / machine setup, before deep work.
- When a new feature lands in claude-plugins-official (watch its README for changelog hints).
One-liner
bash ~/.claude/skills/plugin-audit/audit.sh
Returns:
- A ranked list of plugins present in the marketplace but not installed, with reason to install / skip.
- A short install plan (exact
claude plugin install <name>@claude-plugins-official commands for the recommended set).
Exclusions (tune per user)
Edit audit.sh to maintain the user's skip list. Defaults:
- Language LSPs not in use:
clangd-lsp, csharp-lsp, gopls-lsp, jdtls-lsp, kotlin-lsp, lua-lsp, php-lsp, ruby-lsp, rust-analyzer-lsp, swift-lsp, typescript-lsp (TS LSP often skipped if you already have editor-integrated TS tooling).
- SaaS integrations not in use:
asana, imessage, telegram, greptile, firebase, gitlab, discord (plugin — you may run Discord via MCP), laravel-boost, terraform (unless running IaC).
- Samples:
example-plugin, fakechat, math-olympiad, playground.
Everything else is surfaced with a (candidate) tag.
Output format
Installed: 30 | Available (post-filter): 8 | Delta: 3
Candidates to install:
- session-report — structured end-of-session report
- hookify — hook authoring assistant
- mcp-server-dev — MCP server build patterns
Install plan:
claude plugin install session-report@claude-plugins-official
claude plugin install hookify@claude-plugins-official
claude plugin install mcp-server-dev@claude-plugins-official
Why this exists
Claude's find-skills skill searches the full ecosystem (90k+ skills) and is great for discovery. plugin-audit is narrower and opinionated: it answers "what should I install from the one marketplace I trust, and skip everything else". The two complement each other.
