Everyone on the team can run the exact same set of Claude Code skills David built with. This page gives you two ways to install all of them — pick whichever is easier. It takes about two minutes.
First, the one thing to know. These skills live in Claude Code — the developer app that runs on your own computer — not in Cowork or Chat. Because Claude Code runs locally, each person installs the skills once on their own Mac. The good news: they arrive as plugins, so after you install them once they update themselves automatically. You are not copying 80 folders by hand — you are turning on 36 plugins from 18 trusted catalogs, in one step.

Where they run
Claude Code
The local developer app, not Cowork/Chat
Before you start — do you have Claude Code?
Both methods below need the Claude Code app installed. Quick check: open Terminal (press ⌘-Space, type "Terminal", hit Enter) and paste this:
claude --version
If it prints a version number, you're set — go to Method 1. If it says command not found, install Claude Code first with the line below, then continue.
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@latest
Method 1 — The one-line installer (easiest)
Paste one line into TerminalRecommended
This runs a small script that adds every marketplace and installs all 36 plugins for you. Safe to run more than once.
Drop one file in a project folderNo commands to type
Claude Code can install everything for you the moment you open a project that contains this settings file. When you open the folder, it pops up and asks "install these plugins?" — you click yes.
Put it inside a .claude folder at the top of the project you work in — so the path is your-project/.claude/settings.json. (If a .claude/settings.json already exists there, don't overwrite it — see the note below.)
3
Open that project in Claude Code. It will detect the file and prompt you to install the marketplaces + plugins. Approve it, then run /reload-plugins.
Best for teams sharing a repo. If this file is committed into a shared project, every teammate who opens that project gets the same install prompt automatically — that's the built-in "set it up once for everyone" path. It only triggers for people who open that project folder, which is why Method 1 is the universal fallback.
Already have a settings.json? Merge, don't replace. Copy the extraKnownMarketplaces and enabledPlugins sections from our file into yours. Ask Claude to do it for you: "merge these two settings.json files."
Which method should I pick?
Use Method 1 (script) if…
You just want it done on your own laptop, you're comfortable pasting one Terminal line, or you don't have a shared project folder yet. Works for anyone, anywhere.
Use Method 2 (file) if…
Your team shares a project/repo and you want new people to get everything automatically when they open it — with zero commands typed.
Doing both is fine and belt-and-suspenders: commit the file for the team, and keep the script link handy for one-off machines.
Common questions
Do I have to do this if I only use Cowork or Chat?
No. These are Claude Code skills — they only apply if you use the Claude Code app on your computer. Cowork and Chat have their own separate skills.
Will this change or delete anything I already have?
No. Both methods only add marketplaces and plugins. The script is safe to run repeatedly — if something's already installed it just skips it. Method 2 only asks to add; it won't remove your existing plugins (and if you already have a settings.json, merge rather than overwrite).
Is it safe? Where do these come from?
The plugins come from 18 public marketplaces — one is Anthropic's official catalog, the rest are community catalogs on GitHub (Cloudflare, AWS, marketing skills, and more). Plugins can run code on your machine, so only ever install from sources your team trusts. This list is exactly the set David vetted and uses. The full list of marketplaces and their GitHub links is inside the script and settings file.
Something failed to install. What do I do?
Re-run the script — a flaky network is the usual cause and a second run fixes it. If one specific plugin keeps failing, open Claude Code, run /plugin, go to the Discover tab, and install that one from the menu. You can also check the Errors tab there.
How do updates work later?
Automatically. Anthropic's official plugins auto-update by default; for the community ones, Claude Code refreshes them at startup and tells you when to run /reload-plugins. You won't need to repeat this setup.
What exactly gets installed?
36 plugins across 18 marketplaces — including Anthropic's official set (GitHub, Slack, Asana, Supabase, Firecrawl, security-guidance, skill-creator, and more), Cloudflare, AWS skills, marketing skills, and several developer toolkits. Open the downloadable files to see every name.
Rolling this out to the team? Point people to this page, then have them do Method 1. If your department shares a project repo, add the Method 2 file to it so future teammates are set up the moment they open it. Questions? Use the Email-David or Slack buttons in the footer.
