Plugins are ready-made toolkits that you can add to Claude. They bring together the instructions, commands, specialist sub-agents and connections to other tools that Claude needs for a particular job.
Examples of pre-installed plugins include customer support, data, human resources, marketing, productivity and product management.
Once you have installed a plugin, Claude can use the capabilities it provides without you having to set everything up again.
This can be useful when a team has developed a particular way of working with Claude. Rather than asking every colleague to recreate the same setup, a developer can package the workflow as a plugin and share it with the rest of the team. The plugin contains the relevant instructions and tools, so that the team does not have to configure them individually.
Plugins can also connect Claude with systems outside the AI itself. These might include a CRM, database, API or project management system. This allows Claude to work with information held in those systems rather than relying on data that someone has copied into a chat.
The different parts of a plugin have different roles. Skills give Claude knowledge or expertise for particular tasks. Connectors provide access to external services. Custom commands can make frequently used actions easier to run. Sub-agents can take on parts of a more complex task and return their results to Claude.
There is also a practical benefit for larger teams. If everyone is using the same plugin, they can work from the same commands, integrations and instructions. This makes it easier to establish a consistent approach to using Claude.
For developers, plugins provide a way to package and distribute a workflow. A useful process can be turned into a plugin and shared with colleagues inside an organisation or, where appropriate, made available more widely through a plugin marketplace.
