# ClaudePluginHub plugin by slug
npx claudepluginhub p/<slug>

Identifier types

owner/repo (GitHub)

Installs a plugin or marketplace directly from a GitHub repository using Claude Code's native plugin system.

• Marketplace repos (.claude-plugin/marketplace.json): Adds the marketplace and installs selected plugins via claude plugin marketplace add and claude plugin install.
• Plugin repos (with or without .claude-plugin/plugin.json): Creates a local wrapper marketplace, then installs via Claude Code.

u/<userId>/<slug> (ClaudePluginHub)

Installs from a ClaudePluginHub user-curated collection. Components are downloaded directly and tracked in a lock file.

p/<slug> (ClaudePluginHub)

Installs a single ClaudePluginHub plugin by its site slug via a wrapper marketplace (requires Claude Code).

Full URL

Same as u/ form but with the full marketplace JSON URL.

Commands

npx claudepluginhub <identifier>        Install from a source
npx claudepluginhub add <identifier>    Same as above
npx claudepluginhub update [identifier] Update (u/ collections only)
npx claudepluginhub list                List (u/ collections only)
npx claudepluginhub remove <identifier> Remove
npx claudepluginhub recommend           Recommend plugins for the current project

Recommend

Run npx claudepluginhub recommend from a project root to get plugin recommendations grouped by each detected stack ("For Next.js:", "For PostgreSQL:", …) — no account, no setup.

npx claudepluginhub recommend             # top picks per detected stack
npx claudepluginhub recommend --limit 6   # picks per stack (1-50, default 4)
npx claudepluginhub recommend --json      # raw JSON, pipeable

Detection reads dependency names from package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, and go.mod, plus which known config files exist (e.g. next.config.*, tailwind.config.*). Privacy: only dependency names and allowlisted config-filename prefixes are sent — never file contents, never arbitrary filenames.

Examples

# Install a specific plugin from a marketplace repo
npx claudepluginhub vercel/next.js --plugin cache-components

Options

| Option | Description | |--------|-------------| | --plugin <name> | Install a specific plugin from a marketplace repo | | --yes, -y | Skip prompts (install all, project scope) | | --scope <scope> | Set scope: user, project (default), local | | --limit <n> | recommend only: picks per detected stack (1-50, default 4) | | --json | recommend only: raw JSON output | | -h, --help | Show help |

Lifecycle differences

| Feature | owner/repo | u/ collections | |---------|-------------|------------------| | Install | claude plugin commands | Direct download | | List | claude plugin list | npx claudepluginhub list | | Update | claude plugin update | npx claudepluginhub update | | Remove | npx claudepluginhub remove owner/repo --scope <scope> (standalone) or claude plugin commands (marketplace) | npx claudepluginhub remove |

Standalone wrapper

When installing a standalone plugin via owner/repo, a local wrapper marketplace is created:

| Scope | Wrapper path | |-------|-------------| | user | ~/.claude/.cpd-wrappers/<owner>-<repo>-user/ | | project | .claude/.cpd-wrappers/<owner>-<repo>-project/ | | local | ~/.claude/.cpd-wrappers/<owner>-<repo>-local-<cwd-hash>/ |

Note: local scope wrappers are stored under ~/.claude/ and are tied to the working directory where they were installed. Running npx claudepluginhub remove owner/repo --scope local for a local install must be done from the same project directory.

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• Claude Code installed and available in PATH (required for owner/repo installs)
