This tool is a lightweight registry and command-line installer that helps you discover, install, and manage public plugins and agent skills for AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor. It essentially acts as a package manager specifically for AI extensions.
Security Assessment
The overall risk is rated as Low. The automated code scan checked 12 files and found no dangerous patterns, no hardcoded secrets, and no requests for excessive local permissions. Since the tool's primary function is to fetch and install packages from remote repositories, it inherently makes network requests and executes shell commands to write files to your system. However, these are standard, expected behaviors for a CLI installer rather than hidden malicious actions. Users should still exercise standard caution when installing third-party plugins from the registry, as the security of those individual plugins is not evaluated in this audit.
Quality Assessment
The project is highly active and well-trusted by the developer community. It received its last code push today, indicating active, ongoing maintenance. The repository has garnered 507 GitHub stars, which shows a healthy level of community adoption. The tool provides a clear description, extensive documentation, and multi-client support. However, there is a minor administrative issue: the automated scan flagged a missing license file in the repository. While the README explicitly claims an MIT license, the lack of an official license file in the root directory is a slight concern for formal enterprise use.
Verdict
Safe to use. It is a well-maintained, community-backed installer with clean code, though you should be aware that third-party packages you download through it may vary in quality.
Lightweight registry to discover, install, and manage all public Claude plugins and agent skills for your favourite AI coding agent.
Claude Plugins
A plugin manager and skills installer for AI coding agents.
Quick Start
Install a Claude plugin:
npx claude-plugins install @EveryInc/every-marketplace/compound-engineering
[!IMPORTANT]
Requires Claude Code v2.0.12 or later for plugin support.
Install an agent skill (works with agentskills-compatible clients):
npx skills-installer install @anthropics/claude-code/frontend-design
[!IMPORTANT]
Check agentskills to see if your client supports skills.
Why Use This?
Discovering, installing, and managing plugins and skills across AI coding agents can be fragmented. This project provides:
- One registry for discovering 11,989 Claude Code plugins and 63,065 agent skills at claude-plugins.dev
- Two focused CLIs —
claude-pluginsfor Claude Code plugins,skills-installerfor agent skills - Multi-client support — Install skills for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenCode, Codex, VS Code, Amp Code, Goose, Letta, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, Trae, Qoder, CodeBuddy.
- Autonomous discovery — Install the skills-discovery meta skill and let your agent find and install skills for you
Discover
Explore available Claude Code plugins and agent skills at claude-plugins.dev or use skills-installer search from your terminal.
Our registry automatically discovers and indexes all public Claude Code plugins and agent skills on GitHub.
Two CLI Tools
This project provides two command-line tools:
claude-plugins
Manage Claude Code plugins — install, enable, disable, and list.
npm install -g claude-plugins
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
install <plugin> |
Install a plugin from the registry |
list |
View installed plugins |
enable <name> |
Enable a disabled plugin |
disable <name> |
Disable a plugin |
Plugins are installed to ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/
skills-installer
Install Agent Skills across multiple AI coding clients.
npm install -g skills-installer
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
search [query] |
Search for skills in the registry |
install <skill> |
Install or update a skill |
list |
List installed skills |
Options:
--client <name>— Target client (default: claude-code)--localor-l— Install to current directory only
Skills are installed to ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or ./.claude/skills/ (local)
Interactive Search
The search command provides an interactive terminal experience for discovering skills — search, browse, sort by relevance/stars/installs, and install without leaving your terminal.
npx skills-installer search
Supported Clients
| Client | Flag |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | --client claude-code (default) |
| Cursor | --client cursor |
| Windsurf | --client windsurf |
| VS Code | --client vscode |
| Codex | --client codex |
| Amp Code | --client amp |
| OpenCode | --client opencode |
| Goose | --client goose |
| Letta | --client letta |
| GitHub | --client github |
| Gemini CLI | --client gemini |
| Antigravity | --client antigravity |
| Trae | --client trae |
| Qoder | --client qoder |
| CodeBuddy | --client codebuddy |
How It Works
Both tools resolve identifiers via our registry:
- Run install command with identifier (e.g.,
@owner/repo/name) - Registry returns the Git repository URL
- CLI clones and installs the plugin or skill
Autonomous Skill Discovery
Want your agent to help you discover and install skills? Try the skills-discovery meta skill:
npx skills-installer install @Kamalnrf/claude-plugins/skills-discovery
Once installed, your agent will:
- Proactively search for relevant skills before starting tasks
- Help you compare and understand the differences between skills
- Install skills on your behalf with your confirmation

Join our GitHub Token Pool
As the registry grows, we're approaching GitHub API rate limits (5,000 requests/hour). You can help by sharing a token:
- Authorize our OAuth Application
- This grants read-only access to public data only — no access to private repos or actions on your behalf
- Your token joins a pool we rotate through to distribute API load
You can revoke access anytime at github.com/settings/applications.
