Plugin Structure
Each plugin follows a standard structure:
Plugin names are immutable
The name field in a marketplace entry is an immutable slug. Once a plugin has been published, its name must not change — users have it installed under that slug, and renaming it breaks their install with a plugin-not-found error.
- To change how a plugin is labeled in the UI, set or update displayName instead.
- If a rename is genuinely unavoidable, add an entry to the top-level renames map in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json so existing installs auto-migrate:
The Claude Code plugin loader reads this map and transparently rewrites the old slug to…How plugins work
- A plugin bundles slash commands, subagents, skills, hooks, MCP servers and status lines so they install together.
- Add the marketplace inside Claude Code with /plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official, then run /plugin to pick what to install.
- You can turn a plugin off again from /plugin without deleting anything.
