Claude Code Plugins: Orchestration and Automation

⚡ Updated for Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6 & Haiku 4.5 — Three-tier model strategy for optimal performance

🎯 Agent Skills Enabled — 150 specialized skills extend Claude's capabilities across plugins with progressive disclosure

A comprehensive production-ready system combining 184 specialized AI agents, 16 multi-agent workflow orchestrators, 150 agent skills, and 98 commands organized into 78 focused, single-purpose plugins for Claude Code.

Overview

This unified repository provides everything needed for intelligent automation and multi-agent orchestration across modern software development:

• 78 Focused Plugins - Granular, single-purpose plugins optimized for minimal token usage and composability
• 184 Specialized Agents - Domain experts with deep knowledge across architecture, languages, infrastructure, quality, data/AI, documentation, business operations, and SEO
• 150 Agent Skills - Modular knowledge packages with progressive disclosure for specialized expertise
• 16 Workflow Orchestrators - Multi-agent coordination systems for complex operations like full-stack development, security hardening, ML pipelines, and incident response
• 98 Commands - Optimized utilities including project scaffolding, security scanning, test automation, and infrastructure setup

Key Features

• Granular Plugin Architecture: 78 focused plugins optimized for minimal token usage
• Comprehensive Tooling: 98 commands including test generation, scaffolding, and security scanning
• 100% Agent Coverage: All plugins include specialized agents
• Agent Skills: 150 specialized skills following for progressive disclosure and token efficiency
• Clear Organization: 25 categories with 1-10 plugins each for easy discovery
• Efficient Design: Average 3.6 components per plugin (follows Anthropic's 2-8 pattern)

How It Works

Each plugin is completely isolated with its own agents, commands, and skills:

• Install only what you need - Each plugin loads only its specific agents, commands, and skills
• Minimal token usage - No unnecessary resources loaded into context
• Mix and match - Compose multiple plugins for complex workflows
• Clear boundaries - Each plugin has a single, focused purpose
• Progressive disclosure - Skills load knowledge only when activated

Example: Installing python-development loads 3 Python agents, 1 scaffolding tool, and makes 16 skills available (~1000 tokens), not the entire marketplace.

Quick Start

Step 1: Add the Marketplace

Add this marketplace to Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents

This makes all 78 plugins available for installation, but does not load any agents or tools into your context.

Step 2: Install Plugins

Browse available plugins:

/plugin

Install the plugins you need:

# Essential development plugins
/plugin install python-development          # Python with 16 specialized skills
/plugin install javascript-typescript       # JS/TS with 4 specialized skills
/plugin install backend-development         # Backend APIs with 3 architecture skills

# Infrastructure & operations
/plugin install kubernetes-operations       # K8s with 4 deployment skills
/plugin install cloud-infrastructure        # AWS/Azure/GCP with 4 cloud skills

# Security & quality
/plugin install security-scanning           # SAST with security skill
/plugin install comprehensive-review       # Multi-perspective code analysis

# Full-stack orchestration
/plugin install full-stack-orchestration   # Multi-agent workflows

Each installed plugin loads only its specific agents, commands, and skills into Claude's context.

Plugins vs Agents

You install plugins, which bundle agents:

Plugin	Agents
comprehensive-review	architect-review, code-reviewer, security-auditor
javascript-typescript	javascript-pro, typescript-pro
python-development	python-pro, django-pro, fastapi-pro
blockchain-web3	blockchain-developer

# ❌ Wrong - can't install agents directly
/plugin install typescript-pro

# ✅ Right - install the plugin
/plugin install javascript-typescript@claude-code-workflows

Troubleshooting

"Plugin not found" → Use plugin names, not agent names. Add @claude-code-workflows suffix.

Plugins not loading → Clear cache and reinstall:

rm -rf ~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-code-workflows && rm ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json
