If you're using Claude Code but haven't installed "plugins" yet, or don't even know they exist, you're losing out as much as someone not using mobile Suica in the modern age. It's not too late, so you absolutely must check out this article!!!

Recently, more people are understanding Skills and MCP, but the real game-changer that accelerates Claude Code's evolution all at once is "plugins".

Honestly, don't you have these worries when using Claude Code?

・What are plugins?

・There are too many Claude Code plugins; I don't know which ones to install.

・I installed some for now, but I'm not sure if I'm really using them effectively.

・I can't tell which ones are standard even looking at the official marketplace.

・I want to know what other developers are actually using.

@zodchiii checked the official Anthropic marketplace, top community collections, and plugins that developers are actually talking about, and selected 36 plugins by use case, which went viral overseas! 😳

This time, I'll explain the content in an easy-to-understand way 👇

■ What are plugins in the first place?

Claude Code Studio - inline image

Plugins are packages that combine skills, commands, hooks, and MCP servers. You can install them with a single command, and you don't need to write configuration files yourself. Just think of them as things that extend what you can do with Claude Code.

■ Installation Method (Common to all plugins)

Claude Code Studio - inline image
  1. Open Claude Code in the terminal
  2. Type /plugin
  3. Go to the Discover tab
  4. Search for the plugin by name
  5. Select it and choose the installation scope (User or Project)

That's it. You can also check the full catalog in advance at claude.com/plugins.

For community plugins not in the official marketplace, first add the marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add owner/repo

Then the plugins from that repository will appear in the Discover tab.
