Claude Code Plugin Support
Claude Code now has support for plugins using which you can easily share Slash commands, Subagents, Hooks, MCP Servers
Why?
Moving forward, plugins will be our standard way to bundle and share Claude Code customizations, and we’ll continue to evolve the format as we add more extension points

How to get started?
Make sure you’re on latest version of Claude Code (if not npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
Then enter /plugins
It’ll give you options to manage the plugins like installing/uninstalling plugins & marketplace. You can think of marketplace as a store in which you can install specific plugins.
For example you can add install Anthropic’s claude code by running this command
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-code
And once you install it, you should be able to see these plugins
