What are Claude Code Plugins?
Claude Code plugins are installable packages that extend Claude Code with new capabilities. A plugin can include skills (system prompts), hooks (event automation), agents (autonomous sub-agents), and custom commands — all bundled into a single installable unit.
Plugins are the recommended way to distribute complex Claude Code extensions. Instead of manually copying system prompts, you install a plugin once and get everything configured automatically.

Cursor, Copilot, and Windsurf. Hooks and commands are Claude Code-specific.

What is the difference between a skill and a plugin?
A
skill is a single system prompt. A plugin is a bundle that can include multiple skills plus hooks, agents, and custom commands. Plugins are distributed as GitHub repositories.
