What it does
Anthropic's open-source set of role plugins built for Claude Cowork that also install in Claude Code. Each plugin bundles slash commands, skills and connector (MCP) settings for one kind of work: sales, finance, data, legal, marketing, customer support, product management, engineering, design, HR, operations, bio research, small business and more. Plugins are plain Markdown and JSON, so you can read and edit them, or fork one as a template for your own team. The repository's marketplace also lists plugins from partners. Apache-2.0.
How a plugin is laid out
- .claude-plugin/plugin.json: the plugin's name and metadata.
- .mcp.json: the connectors (MCP servers) the plugin uses.
- commands/: slash commands you run on purpose.
- skills/: instructions Claude loads when they match the task.
Customizing for your team
Because everything is Markdown and JSON, the usual approach is to fork a plugin, change the connectors to the tools your team actually uses, and rewrite the skills with your own terms and processes. The repo includes a plugin-management plugin for creating and editing plugins.
Who it's for
Teams using Claude Cowork or Claude Code for non-coding work (sales calls, SQL questions, contract review, support replies) who want role-specific commands and connectors instead of writing them from scratch.
How to set it up
In Claude Cowork, install plugins from claude.com/plugins.
In Claude Code, add the marketplace, then install the plugin for your role (sales is the example used in the README):
bashclaude plugin marketplace add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins claude plugin install sales@knowledge-work-pluginsPlugin commands are namespaced by plugin name, for example /sales:call-prep or /data:write-query. Skills in the plugin load on their own when they are relevant.
Connectors are defined in each plugin's .mcp.json. Look through it before connecting accounts, and remove any services you do not use. Partner-built plugins in the marketplace are maintained by their authors, so check each one's source.
Check the official Anthropic Knowledge Work Plugins docs for the latest steps.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need Cowork?
No. The plugins are built for Cowork but the README says they work in Claude Code too, installed through the marketplace command.
Are the partner plugins made by Anthropic?
No. The marketplace file lists both Anthropic's role plugins and plugins built by other companies. Check the author and source of each before you install it.

More Rules & Prompts
- Anthropic
Agent Skills (Anthropic)
Anthropic's public repository of Agent Skills: folders with a SKILL.md file (plus optional scripts and resources) that Claude loads when a task needs them. It includes example skills, the document skills behind Claude's file creation, a skill template and a copy of the Agent Skills spec (the open standard lives at agentskills.io). Many skills are Apache-2.0; the document skills are source-available, not open source.
- Agentic AI Foundation (Linux Foundation)
AGENTS.md
A simple open format for giving coding agents project instructions: one AGENTS.md markdown file in your repo with setup commands, test steps and code style. It is now stewarded by the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation, and the agents.md site lists many tools that read it, including Codex, Cursor, goose, OpenCode, Aider, Zed, Kilo Code and GitHub Copilot's coding agent. The site and repo are MIT licensed. Claude Code reads it too when a project has no CLAUDE.md.
- Google (Android)
Android Skills
Google's official Agent Skills for Android development: SKILL.md instructions that ground coding agents in current Android guidance for tasks where Google's evaluations show LLMs underperform. Examples include migrating XML views to Jetpack Compose, upgrading to AGP 9, setting up Navigation 3, making an app edge-to-edge, auditing R8 configuration and fixing ANRs. They follow the open Agent Skills standard, so they work with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini/Antigravity and other agents that support skills. Apache-2.0.
- Anthropic
Claude Code Plugins (official marketplace)
Anthropic's official plugin marketplace for Claude Code. A plugin bundles skills, subagents, hooks and MCP or LSP servers so you install them in one step. It lists plugins Anthropic maintains (such as commit-commands, code-review, feature-dev and the language-server plugins) alongside plugins from partners and other authors. Claude Code adds this marketplace for you the first time you start an interactive terminal session. The repo is Apache-2.0; each plugin has its own license.
- Cloudflare
Cloudflare Security Audit Skill
An agent skill from Cloudflare that runs a structured security audit of a codebase instead of a one-shot "look for bugs" prompt. It works in phases: map the architecture and keep a coverage ledger, hunt for issues area by area, have a fresh sub-agent try to validate each candidate, write findings as JSON checked against a schema (confirmed, needs validation or rejected), verify each record again, then produce a written report. Cloudflare says it grew out of the internal vulnerability harness described on its blog in June 2026. It is a single skill (security-audit), MIT licensed.
- Cursor
Cursor Plugins (official)
Cursor's plugin specification and its official plugins. A Cursor plugin packages rules, skills, subagents, commands, MCP servers and hooks into one install. The repo holds Cursor-made plugins (such as Create Plugin, Advisor and Orchestrate) plus Cursor-packaged integrations for tools like GitHub, Playwright, Gmail, Google Drive, HubSpot and Salesforce. Cursor says every plugin in its Marketplace is manually reviewed before it's listed and must be open source. Plugins in the repo are MIT licensed.
