Awesome Claude Code Plugins: The Curated List (2026)
Share:
This is an awesome Claude Code plugins list — a curated directory of the best official and community plugins, the marketplaces they live in, and a link to each one. Rather than rank a top ten, it is built to help you browse the ecosystem: find the plugins for workflow, memory, design, or efficiency, jump to their repos, and install what fits. It also points you to the marketplaces and GitHub lists where the whole catalog lives.
Last updated: July 2026. The ecosystem moves fast; every entry links to its source so you can check activity before installing.
How This List Works
Entries are grouped by what they do, and each is just a name, a link, and a one-line description — the classic "awesome list" format. Official plugins get a short pointer to our full list; community plugins each link to their GitHub repo. Every community plugin here is a real, active repository we checked resolves — not an auto-scraped list — so the links are ones you can trust. This is the breadth view; if you want a ranked, tested shortlist with star counts and keep-or-skip verdicts, read our best Claude Code plugins roundup instead. For the skills side of the ecosystem, see the companion awesome Claude Code skills list.

Plugin Marketplaces & Awesome Lists on GitHub
Before individual plugins, know where they live. These are the marketplaces, curated lists, and directories that hold the full catalog — bookmark them for a permanent, self-updating source:
- anthropics/claude-plugins-official — Anthropic's official marketplace (200-plus curated first-party and partner plugins), registered automatically in Claude Code.
- anthropics/claude-plugins-community — the reviewed community marketplace, added manually and installed with the
@claude-communitysuffix. - ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-plugins — a hand-curated community list organized by category.
- quemsah/awesome-claude-plugins — an automated adoption-metrics list; comprehensive but auto-generated, so sanity-check each entry before trusting it.
- davila7/claude-code-templates — the open-source catalog and CLI behind aitmpl.com, indexing thousands of agents, commands, skills, and MCP servers.
- claudepluginhub.com — an independent web directory for browsing, rating, and submitting plugins (not affiliated with Anthropic).
These sources span three tiers: Anthropic's official marketplace, the reviewed community marketplace, and independent directories. Our Claude Code plugins marketplace guide explains how each tier works and how to add one, so you can decide how far past the official set you want to venture.
Official Plugins
Anthropic's first-party plugins live in the auto-registered claude-plugins-official marketplace: dev-workflow tools (code-review, security-guidance, commit-commands, pr-review-toolkit, claude-code-setup), frontend-design, skill-creator, two output styles, and eleven language servers — plus vetted partner integrations for GitHub, Supabase, Vercel, Figma, Linear, Sentry, and Notion. Because there are so many, we keep the exhaustive rundown in a dedicated page: see the official Claude Code plugins list for every name and install command. For most people the official set is the right place to begin — it is vetted, auto-registered, and covers the highest-leverage tools (real-time type intelligence, code review, and security) out of the box, before you ever reach for a community plugin.
Community Plugins by Category
Standout community plugins, grouped by what they help with. Each links to its source repo; install instructions are in the how to install plugins guide.
Workflow & Methodology
The plugins that impose structure on how Claude plans and executes:
- Superpowers — a full brainstorm → spec → git-worktrees → test-driven-development methodology, and the most-starred plugin in the ecosystem.
- ECC — a large "operator" harness bundling dozens of agents and hundreds of skills with hooks; maximal and highly opinionated.
- Ponytail — pushes Claude toward minimal, "laziest senior dev" code through a strict simplicity ladder.
- Planning with Files — writes plans to markdown files so work survives
/clear, context overflow, or a crash mid-task.
Memory & Context
The plugins that keep Claude informed across time:
- Claude Mem — persistent memory that compresses each session and re-injects the relevant context next time.
- Context7 — pulls up-to-date, version-specific library documentation into context on demand, killing a whole class of hallucinated API calls.
Design & Frontend
For raising the quality of the interfaces Claude produces:
- ui-ux-pro-max — a heavily-starred design-intelligence plugin with opinionated UI/UX guidance. (Anthropic's official
frontend-designcovers the same ground as a first-party option.)
Efficiency
For getting more out of every token:
- Caveman — replies in terse "caveman-speak" while keeping all code, commands, and errors byte-exact, cutting output tokens by around 65% on long runs.
How to Install Any of These
Installing is a one-liner. For official plugins, the marketplace is already registered:
/plugin install code-review@claude-plugins-official
For a community plugin, add its marketplace first, then install:
/plugin marketplace add obra/superpowers-marketplace
/plugin install superpowers@superpowers-marketplace
Run /plugin on its own for the interactive manager, and /reload-plugins to apply changes. The full step-by-step, with troubleshooting, is in how to install and use Claude Code plugins.
Conclusion
The awesome Claude Code plugins ecosystem comes down to two sources: Anthropic's curated official marketplace, and a fast-growing set of community plugins indexed across GitHub lists, marketplaces, and directories. Use this Claude Code plugins list to find what fits your workflow, follow the links to each repo, and install what earns its place. When you want the opinionated shortlist instead of the full field, the tested best Claude Code plugins has you covered — and the complete Claude Code plugins guide explains how the whole system fits together.
