Install plugins into Claude Code from the AIWG marketplace with registry lookup, download, and local deployment
What this skill does
# Install Plugin You install a plugin into Claude Code from the AIWG marketplace. Plugins are pre-packaged bundles of agents, skills, commands, and rules. You handle registry lookup, download, and local deployment. ## Triggers Alternate expressions and non-obvious activations (primary phrases are matched automatically from the skill description): - "I want the SDLC plugin" → install sdlc@aiwg - "add the voice bundle" → install voice@aiwg - "get me the marketing kit" → install marketing@aiwg - "set up the testing tools" → install utils@aiwg ## Trigger Patterns Reference | Pattern | Example | Action | |---------|---------|--------| | Install plugin | "install plugin sdlc@aiwg" | Run `aiwg install-plugin sdlc@aiwg` | | Add plugin | "add plugin voice@aiwg" | Run `aiwg install-plugin voice@aiwg` | | Plugin install | "plugin install marketing@aiwg" | Run `aiwg install-plugin marketing@aiwg` | | Claude Code plugin | "install claude code plugin utils" | Run `aiwg install-plugin utils@aiwg` | | Dry run | "show me what installing sdlc would do" | Run `aiwg install-plugin sdlc@aiwg --dry-run` | | Specific version | "install sdlc version 2026.3.0" | Run `aiwg install-plugin sdlc@[email protected]` | ## Behavior When triggered: 1. **Extract intent**: - Which plugin is being requested? (name and optional `@scope`) - Is a specific version mentioned? - Is this a dry run? 2. **Run the appropriate command**: ```bash # Install from AIWG marketplace (default scope) aiwg install-plugin sdlc@aiwg aiwg install-plugin voice@aiwg aiwg install-plugin marketing@aiwg aiwg install-plugin utils@aiwg # Install a specific version aiwg install-plugin sdlc@[email protected] # Preview what would be installed aiwg install-plugin sdlc@aiwg --dry-run # Force reinstall even if already installed aiwg install-plugin sdlc@aiwg --force ``` 3. **Report the result** — confirm which agents, skills, commands, and rules were installed and where. ## Available Plugins (AIWG Marketplace) | Plugin | Contents | Use Case | |--------|----------|----------| | `sdlc@aiwg` | 58 agents, 42 commands, SDLC workflows | Full software development lifecycle | | `voice@aiwg` | Voice profiles, soul system | Content style and persona management | | `marketing@aiwg` | Marketing agents, campaigns, media | Marketing operations framework | | `utils@aiwg` | Core utility skills and rules | Foundational cross-framework utilities | ## What Happens on Install 1. Plugin manifest fetched from marketplace 2. Agents deployed to `.claude/agents/` 3. Commands deployed to `.claude/commands/` 4. Skills deployed to `.claude/skills/` 5. Rules deployed to `.claude/rules/` 6. Plugin registered in local plugin registry ## Examples ### Example 1: Install SDLC plugin **User**: "Install the SDLC plugin" **Extraction**: Plugin name is `sdlc`, scope is `aiwg` **Action**: ```bash aiwg install-plugin sdlc@aiwg ``` **Response**: "Installed sdlc@aiwg v2026.3.15. Deployed 58 agents to .claude/agents/, 42 commands to .claude/commands/, 12 skills to .claude/skills/, 33 rules to .claude/rules/." ### Example 2: Dry run before installing **User**: "What would installing the voice plugin add?" **Extraction**: Dry-run for voice plugin **Action**: ```bash aiwg install-plugin voice@aiwg --dry-run ``` **Response**: "Dry run — voice@aiwg v2026.3.15 would add: 6 voice profiles to .claude/skills/voices/, 4 soul system skills, 2 rules. No changes made." ### Example 3: Force reinstall after corruption **User**: "The SDLC plugin seems broken, reinstall it" **Extraction**: Force reinstall of sdlc **Action**: ```bash aiwg install-plugin sdlc@aiwg --force ``` **Response**: "Force reinstalled sdlc@aiwg. All 58 agents and 42 commands redeployed cleanly." ## Clarification Prompts If the plugin name is ambiguous: - "Which plugin would you like to install? Available: sdlc@aiwg, voice@aiwg, marketing@aiwg, utils@aiwg" - "Did you mean `sdlc@aiwg`? Run `aiwg catalog list` to see all available plugins." ## References - @$AIWG_ROOT/src/cli/handlers/utilities.ts — Command handler - @$AIWG_ROOT/docs/cli-reference.md — CLI reference

skill-development
IncludedComprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.
reprompter
IncludedTransform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts — single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score ≥ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.
adaptive-compaction
IncludedAdaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.
agent-skill-creator
IncludedCreate cross-platform agent skills from workflow descriptions. Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill. Supports single skills, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, interactive configuration, cross-platform export, and spec validation.
llm-wiki
IncludedUse when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.
skill-master
IncludedAgent Skills authoring, evaluation, and optimization. Create, edit, validate, benchmark, and improve skills following the agentskills.io specification. Use when designing SKILL.md files, structuring skill folders (references, scripts, assets), ingesting external documentation into skills, running trigger evals, benchmarking skill quality, optimizing descriptions, or performing blind A/B comparisons. Keywords: agentskills.io, SKILL.md, skill authoring, eval, benchmark, trigger optimization.
