Knowledge Work Plugins Plugins that turn Claude into a specialist for your role, team, and company. Built for Claude Cowork, also compatible with Claude Code. Why Plugins Cowork lets you set the goal and Claude delivers finished, professional work. Plugins let you go further: tell Claude how you like work done, which tools and data to pull from, how to handle critical workflows, and what slash commands to expose — so your team gets better and more consistent outcomes. Each plugin bundles the skills, connectors, slash commands, and sub-agents for a specific job function. Out of the box, they give Claude a strong starting point for helping anyone in that role. The real power comes when you customize them for your company — your tools, your terminology, your processes — so Claude works like it was built for your team. Plugin Marketplace We're open-sourcing 11 plugins built and inspired by our own work: Install these directly from Cowork, browse the full collection here on GitHub, or build your own. Getting Started Cowork Install plugins from claude.com/plugins. Claude Code Once installed, plugins activate automatically.

Claude draws on them automatically when relevant. - Commands are explicit actions you trigger (e.g., /finance:reconciliation, /product-management:write-spec). - Connectors wire Claude to the external tools your role depends on — CRMs, project trackers, data warehouses, design tools, and more — via MCP servers. Every component is file-based —…
