| Source: Claude Plugins Documentation Do you explain the same job to Claude again and again? Reports, proposals, follow-ups, and more. A Claude plugin can package that work, and you can create one without writing any files. Read ahead to learn how. [What Is a Claude Plugin?] A plugin is one package of skills, commands, and connectors. It lives on your own account and is for you by default. Once saved, it is available in your chats, in Cowork, and in Claude Code as a synced plugin. Now, let’s create one. [Step 1: Open the Add Menu] Go to Customize > Plugins in claude(.)ai or the desktop app and select Add. Choose Create with Claude, which opens a conversation with the plugin request already filled in for you to send. [Step 2: Describe the Job] Explain the job as you would to a colleague. Say what the task is, when it comes up, and what a good result looks like. Claude will ask follow-up questions, such as which connectors to use. You can change any answer later. [Step 3: Save It] Claude writes the skills and commands, adds the connectors you chose, and shows the result as a file card. Select Save plugin. Your plugin then appears under Customize > Plugins, on the Yours view. [Test Before You Trust It] Before you rely on it, open the plugin and read its skills, commands, and connectors. Sign in to any bundled connector, then test it with a real request and check that Claude follows the plugin’s skills. You can disable or remove it from Customize > Plugins. [Your Weekly Challenge] Pick one task you repeat often. Send Claude a message with the task, when it comes up, and what a good result looks like. Build one plugin this week and test it on real work.
