Top AI Product

Anthropic just opened claude-plugins-official — a curated directory of high-quality plugins for Claude Code and Claude Cowork, managed directly by Anthropic. The marketplace ships built-in to every Claude Code install.

## What’s inside

Two top-level directories: `/plugins` for internally-developed Anthropic plugins (code review, SDK helpers, language server integrations, external-service connectors), and `/external_plugins` for third-party submissions from partners and the community. Run `/plugin` inside Claude Code and you land on a Discover tab listing everything available. Install with `/plugin install @claude-plugins-official`.

## Anthropic Verified badge

Community submissions go through basic automated review before landing in the directory. Plugins that pass additional manual quality and safety review get an Anthropic Verified badge. This is the formal trust signal mechanism — a partial answer to the supply-chain problem that recently hit open skill marketplaces where 13.4% of community-submitted skills shipped with critical vulnerabilities.

## Why it matters

Plugin ecosystems live or die on trust. Anthropic running the curated marketplace itself — rather than punting to npm-style open submission — is the strongest signal yet that Claude Code is angling to be the developer’s daily coding shell rather than an occasional assist tool. Verified plugins shipped from the source matter a lot when the agent has filesystem and network access.
