This project provides a curated marketplace for Claude Code plugins, enhancing productivity, development, and writing capabilities within the Claude environment. It targets Claude Code users, developers, and writers seeking pre-packaged skills and resources to streamline workflows, improve code quality, and access reference materials. The benefit lies in easily discovering and integrating specialized tools without manual plugin management.

How It Works

The marketplace functions as a central catalog (marketplace.json) for discovering and installing various Claude Code plugins. Users add the marketplace to their Claude Code instance, enabling access to plugins like "Superpowers" (core skills), "Elements of Style" (writing guidance), and "Developing for Claude Code" (developer resources). This approach simplifies plugin management and promotes the adoption of battle-tested skills and documentation.

Quick Start & Requirements

Limitations & Caveats

The README does not detail specific performance benchmarks or potential conflicts between plugins. Community support channels beyond GitHub issues are not explicitly provided. The "Elements of Style" plugin contains a large token count (~12k) which might have performance implications depending on Claude Code's context window handling.
