## What This Is

## Before You Start

Scan my workspace and analyze:
- The project language, framework, and directory structure
- Existing agent configuration (check for .claude/, .codex/, CLAUDE.md, settings.json, commands/, skills/ directories)
- Whether this repository or a similar tool is already cloned or installed

Then ask me before proceeding:
1. Do I need to configure any service credentials for this plugin (database, API keys, etc.)?
2. Should this be project-scoped or global?

## Fetch the Source

Clone or inspect the repository to understand what needs to be installed:
```bash
gh repo clone anthropics/claude-plugins-official
```
Review the README, directory structure, and any install instructions before proceeding.

## What to Implement

This is an **Agent Plugin** — typically an MCP server or capability bundle.

- Install any required npm/pip packages from the source repository
- Register the MCP server in `.claude/settings.json` under the `mcpServers` key with the correct command and args
- Configure any required environment variables or credentials
- Verify the server starts correctly by checking its expected output

## Additional Context

- Scan the `/plugins` and `/external_plugins` directories in the `anthropics/claude-plugins-official` repository to identify available plugins and present a list to the user.
- Based on the user's current project files and objectives, recommend 2-3 relevant plugins from the directory that would provide the most value.
- Upon user confirmation of a plugin choice, execute the Claude Code command `/plugin install {plugin-name}@claude-plugins-official`, replacing `{plugin-name}` with the selected plugin's name.

## Reference Implementation

```

## Guidelines

- Adapt everything to my existing project — do not assume a specific stack or directory layout
- Review any fetched code for safety before installing or executing it
- After setup, run a quick verification and show me a summary of exactly what was installed, where, and how to use it

FIELD OPERATIONS

Personal Dotfile Manager Plugin

Build a custom Claude Code plugin to manage your personal dotfiles. The plugin should have a slash command `/dotfile sync` that reads a `dotfiles.json` config, pulls the latest versions of your config files (e.g., .zshrc, .vimrc) from a private Git repository, and places them in the correct user directories.

Project Management Integration Plugin

Develop a Claude Code plugin that integrates with a project management tool like Jira or Trello. The plugin should provide a slash command `/ticket create` that prompts the user for a title and description, then creates a new ticket in the specified project board via the service's API.

STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS

→Create a proprietary Claude Code plugin for your company's internal design system. The plugin can provide slash commands to search for and insert code snippets for UI components (e.g., `/component Button primary`), ensuring developers adhere to company standards and accelerate front-end development.
→Develop an external plugin for your SaaS product and submit it to the official directory. This plugin allows developers using Claude Code to interact with your product's API directly from their editor, increasing developer adoption and making your product an integral part of their AI-assisted workflow.
