Adding Skills from a Marketplace in Claude Code

If you want to add a skill from a marketplace , you need to add the marketplace first.

/plugin marketplaces add claude-plugins-official

Once the marketplace is added, browse and install a plugin from the Discover tab.

It will ask you a question about the scope of the plugin. Select the one appropriate for your use.

After this run /reload-plugins to apply.

/reload-plugins

Reloaded: 1 plugin · 0 skills · 6 agents · 0 hooks · 0 plugin MCP servers · 0 plugin LSP servers

To verify the plugin is installed, run /plugin list.

/plugin list

Installed plugins:
  frontend-design@claude-plugins-official (user) ✔ enabled — run /reload-plugins to apply

Check the installed skills with the /skills command. Screenshot of the Claude Code “/skills” panel: heading “Skills”, subtitle “1 skill · enter/space to cycle, / to search, t to sort, Esc to close”, a “Search skills…” box, one entry “🔒 on frontend-design:frontend-design · plugin · ~80 tok · locked by plugin”, and the footer note “Plugin skills are managed via /plugin”

How do you use the skills?

Skills can be triggered either automatically, by phrases in your prompt, or manually. For example, the frontend-design skill triggers automatically if your prompt includes phrases like “Design a settings panel with dark mode” or “Create a dashboard for a music streaming app”.

For manually triggering the skills: you can run /{plugin}:{skill}
