What Claude Code Setup is
Claude Code Setup is a plugin published in the anthropics/claude-plugins-official repository on GitHub, which has about 37.1k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Official, Anthropic-managed directory of high quality Claude Code Plugins.”
A plugin is a package that bundles skills, slash commands, subagents, hooks, and MCP connectors so they install together. Plugins are plain files with a manifest at .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and they work in both Claude Code and Claude Cowork.
Installing Claude Code Setup adds everything it ships in one step. Connectors inside a plugin still need to be connected separately, and hooks and subagents only run in Cowork and Claude Code, not in regular chat.

Analyze codebases and recommend tailored Claude Code automations - hooks, skills, MCP servers, and more.
What It Does
Claude uses this skill to scan your codebase and recommend the top 1-2 automations in each category:
- MCP Servers - External integrations (context7 for docs, Playwright for frontend)
- Skills - Packaged expertise (Plan agent, frontend-design)
- Hooks - Automatic actions (auto-format, auto-lint, block sensitive files)
- Subagents - Specialized reviewers (security, performance, accessibility)
- Slash Commands - Quick workflows (/test, /pr-review, /explain)
This skill is read-only - it analyzes but doesn't modify files.

Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
