Course Description

Tired of setting up the same skills and connectors every time a familiar job comes around? A plugin packs everything that the job needs into one thing you install once. Install your first plugin, adapt one a colleague sends you, and build one of your own, all without writing a line of code.

From Using to Building Plugins

  • Meeting a Plugin

    The learner can say what a plugin bundles and how that differs from a single skill, install one from Anthropic's set in the built-in directory, run a real recurring job with it, and explain why that job called for a plugin rather than a skill.

  • Working with External Plugins

    The learner knows where plugins come from once Anthropic's set runs out: the Partners tab, marketplaces added as a source, and files a colleague sends. They can check such a plugin before installing it, and change one of its skills so the output matches how their own team works.

  • Building and Sharing Your Own Plugin

    The learner can write a short brief for a recurring job, build the plugin from it by describing it to Claude, tune each skill against real output, and hand the finished zip file to a colleague with the vetting questions already answered. They also know the two routes beyond a file: an admin making the plugin available across a Team or Enterprise organization, and version control for a plugin that keeps changing.
