Knowledge Work Plugins
#Knowledge Work Plugins
Plugins that turn Claude into a specialist for your role, team, and company. Built for Claude Cowork, also compatible with Claude Code.
#Why Plugins
Cowork lets you set the goal and Claude delivers finished, professional work. Plugins let you go further: tell Claude how you like work done, which tools and data to pull from, how to handle critical workflows, and what slash commands to expose — so your team gets better and more consistent outcomes.
Each plugin bundles the skills, connectors, slash commands, and sub-agents for a specific job function. Out of the box, they give Claude a strong starting point for helping anyone in that role. The real power comes when you customize them for your company — your tools, your terminology, your processes — so Claude works like it was built for your team.

#Getting Started
#Cowork
Install plugins from claude.com/plugins.
#Claude Code
# Add the marketplace first claude plugin marketplace add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins # Then install a specific plugin claude plugin install sales@knowledge-work-plugins
Once installed, plugins activate automatically. Skills fire when relevant, and slash commands are available in your session (e.g., /sales:call-prep, /data:write-query).
#How Plugins Work
Every plugin follows the same structure:
plugin-name/ ├── .claude-plugin/plugin.json # Manifest ├── .mcp.json # Tool connections ├── commands/ # Slash commands you invoke explicitly └── skills/ # Domain knowledge Claude draws on automatically
- Skills encode the domain expertise, best practices, and step-by-step workflows Claude needs to give you useful help. Claude draws on them automatically when relevant.
- Commands are explicit actions you trigger (e.g.,
/finance:reconciliation,/product-management:write-spec). - Connectors wire Claude to the external tools your role depends on — CRMs, project trackers, data warehouses, design tools, and more — via MCP servers.
Every component is file-based — markdown and JSON, no code, no infrastructure, no build steps.
#Making Them Yours
These plugins are generic starting points. They become much more useful when you customize them for how your company actually works:
- Swap connectors — Edit
.mcp.jsonto point at your specific tool stack. - Add company context — Drop your terminology, org structure, and processes into skill files so Claude understands your world.
- Adjust workflows — Modify skill instructions to match how your team actually does things, not how a textbook says to.
- Build new plugins — Use the
cowork-plugin-managementplugin or follow the structure above to create plugins for roles and workflows we haven't covered yet.
As your team builds and shares plugins, Claude becomes a cross-functional expert. The context you define gets baked into every relevant interaction, so leaders and admins can spend less time enforcing processes and more time improving them.
