Anthropic has rolled out a major upgrade to Claude Code, introducing plugin support — enabling developers to customize and share their AI coding environments with ease. The new system allows developers to install and manage plugins composed of slash commands, agents, MCP servers, and workflow hooks — all with a single command. ⚛️

The announcement marks a significant step in making AI-powered development environments more flexible, modular, and community-driven.

A Unified System for Custom AI Workflows

Plugins in Claude Code are designed to simplify how teams build and share their custom AI setups. Developers can now use the /plugin command (currently in public beta) to install or remove plugins directly from within Claude Code, whether in the terminal or VS Code.
