What Connect Apps is

Connect Apps is a plugin published in the ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills repository on GitHub, which has about 75.7k stars. The repository describes itself as: “A curated list of awesome Claude Skills, resources, and tools for customizing Claude AI workflows”

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 Connect Apps 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.

How to install Connect Apps

Claude Code

  1. Add the repository as a plugin marketplace: claude plugin marketplace add ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills
  2. Install the plugin: claude plugin install connect-apps@<marketplace-name>, using the marketplace name from the repository's .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.
  3. Restart the session if the new skills or commands don't appear straight away.

Claude Cowork

  1. Open Customize → Plugins and choose Add marketplace.
  2. Enter ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills (the owner/repo shorthand works for GitHub).
  3. Find Connect Apps in the list, click Install, then connect any connectors it needs from its Connectors tab.

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.
