See all at [tonsofskills.com](https://tonsofskills.com). --- ## What Changed: Claude Code in 2026 Anthropic shipped several features since plugins launched in October 2025 that change how developers extend Claude Code: - **Agent Skills (`SKILL.md`)** replaced static plugins as the primary extension point. Skills auto-activate based on conversation context — no slash commands needed. This repo now contains 1,916 validated skills across 22 categories. - **`${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}`** is the official path variable for referencing files within a skill directory. It replaced the deprecated `{baseDir}` syntax. All 1,916 skills in this repo use the current variable. - **Two-tier validation**: Standard tier (default) follows the Anthropic spec with no required fields. Enterprise tier (`--enterprise`) applies the Intent Solutions 100-point grading rubric. CI auto-selects enterprise. - **Progressive Disclosure Architecture (PDA)** keeps skill files concise (target: 150 lines) and offloads detailed references to a `references/` subdirectory. Our 100-point grading rubric enforces this. - **Tool permissions** (`allowed-tools` frontmatter) give each skill fine-grained access control. Scoped patterns like `Bash(git:*)` limit what system commands a skill can run. - **New frontmatter fields**: `context: fork` (run in subagent), `agent` (subagent type), `user-invocable` (hide from slash menu), `argument-hint` (autocomplete), `hooks` (lifecycle events), and `compatibility` (AgentSkills.io standard for environment requirements). - **Claude 4.5/4.6 model family** — Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5 are the current models. Skills can specify `model: sonnet` or `model: opus` in frontmatter. This README reflects the current state of the ecosystem as of March 2026. --- ## Quick Start **Option 1: CLI (Recommended)** ```bash pnpm add -g @intentsolutionsio/ccpi ccpi search devops # Find plugins by keyword ccpi install devops-automation-pack ccpi list --installed # See what's installed ccpi update # Pull latest versions ``` **Option 2: Claude Built-in Commands** ```bash /plugin marketplace add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins /plugin install devops-automation-pack@claude-code-plugins-plus ``` > Already using an older install? Run `/plugin marketplace remove claude-code-plugins` and re-add with the command above to switch to the new slug. **Browse the catalog:** Visit **[claudecodeplugins.io](https://claudecodeplugins.io/)** or explore [`plugins/`](./plugins/) --- ## How Agent Skills Work Agent Skills are instruction files (`SKILL.md`) that teach Claude Code **when** and **how** to perform specific tasks. Unlike commands that require explicit `/slash` triggers, skills activate automatically when Claude detects relevant conversation context. ### The Activation Flow ``` 1. INSTALL /plugin install ansible-playbook-creator@claude-code-plugins-plus 2. STARTUP Claude reads SKILL.md frontmatter → learns trigger phrases 3. ACTIVATE You say "create an ansible playbook for Apache" 4. EXECUTE Claude matches trigger → reads full skill → follows instructions ``` ### What a Skill Looks Like ```yaml --- name: ansible-playbook-creator description: | Generate production-ready Ansible playbooks. Use when automating server configuration or deployments. Trigger with "ansible playbook" or "create playbook for [task]". allowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash(ansible:*), Glob version: 2.0.0 author: Jeremy Longshore <jeremy@intentsolutions.io> license: MIT --- # Ansible Playbook Creator ## Overview Generates idempotent Ansible playbooks following infrastructure-as-code best practices. ## Instructions 1. Gather target host details and desired state 2. Select appropriate Ansible modules 3. Generate playbook with proper variable templating 4. Validate syntax with `ansible-lint` ## Output - Complete playbook YAML ready for `ansible-playbook` execution ``` ### The Numbers | Metric | Count | |--------|-------| | Total skills | 1,916 | | Plugins (marketplace) | 346 | | Plugin categories | 22 | | Contributors | 16 | | Average skill grade | B (89.9/100) | | Production ready (A+B) | 88.9% | --- ## Plugin Types ### AI Instruction Plugins (98%) Markdown files that guide Claude's behavior through structured instructions, skills, commands, and agents. No external code — everything runs through Claude's built-in capabilities. ### MCP Server Plugins (2%) TypeScript applications that run as separate Node.js processes. Claude communicates with them through the Model Context Protocol. Currently 7 MCP plugins providing 21 tools. ### SaaS Skill Packs Pre-built skill collections for specific platforms — Deepgram, LangChain, Linear, Gamma, and 20+ others. Each pack includes install/auth, core workflows, debugging, deployment, and advanced pattern skills. --- ## Skill Quality: 100-Point Grading Every skill in this marketplace is automatically graded on a 100-point scale across five dimensions: | Dimension | Weight | What It Measures | |-----------|--------|-----------------| | Progressive Disclosure | 30 pts | File length, references/ usage, navigation | | Ease of Use | 25 pts | Metadata quality, discoverability, workflow clarity | | Utility | 20 pts | Problem solving, flexibility, error handling, examples | | Spec Compliance | 15 pts | Frontmatter validity, naming, description quality | | Writing Style | 10 pts | Imperative voice, objectivity, conciseness | Grades: **A** (90-100), **B** (80-89), **C** (70-79), **D** (60-69), **F** (<60) Run the validator yourself: ```bash python3 scripts/validate-skills-schema.py --skills-only # Standard tier (default, no required fields) python3 scripts/validate-skills-schema.py --enterprise --skills-only # Enterprise tier (marketplace rubric) python3 scripts/validate-skills-schema.py --verbose --skills-only # Detailed breakdowns python3 scripts/validate-skills-schema.py --show-low-grades # Find D+F skills ``` --- ## Building Your Own ### Templates | Template | Includes | Best For | |----------|----------|----------| | **minimal-plugin** | plugin.json + README | Simple utilities | | **command-plugin** | Slash commands | Custom workflows | | **agent-plugin** | Specialized AI agent | Domain expertise | | **full-plugin** | Commands + agents + hooks + skills | Complex automation | All templates live in [`templates/`](templates/). ### Step by Step 1. Copy a template: `cp -r templates/command-plugin my-plugin` 2. Edit `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` with your metadata 3. Add your skill to `skills/my-skill/SKILL.md` 4.
