Prerequisites
- Claude Code CLI installed (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
- Node.js 18+ for running npx commands
- A GitHub account if contributing plugins
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
Add the Build With Claude marketplace to Claude Code
Register the marketplace plugin source so that Claude Code can discover and install plugins from this collection.
/plugin marketplace add davepoon/buildwithclaudeBrowse and search available plugins
Search the marketplace directly from the CLI to find agents, commands, hooks, and skills by keyword.
/plugin search @buildwithclaudeInstall specific plugins
Install individual plugins by name, or install entire categories at once for agents, commands, or hooks.
# Install a single agent
/plugin install agents-python-expert@buildwithclaude
# Install all commands
/plugin install all-commands@buildwithclaude
# Install all hooks
/plugin install all-hooks@buildwithclaudeAlternative: manual installation via git clone
Clone the repository and copy plugin files manually into your Claude Code configuration directories if the plugin command is not available.
git clone https://github.com/davepoon/buildwithclaude.git
cd buildwithclaude
# Install agents
find plugins/agents-*/agents -name "*.md" -exec cp {} ~/.claude/agents/ \;
# Install commands
find plugins/commands-*/commands -name "*.md" -exec cp {} ~/.claude/commands/ \;Use installed agents and commands
Agents are invoked contextually or explicitly; commands use the slash prefix.

Example instructions you can give Claude Code once the marketplace is connected.
- "Use the agents-security-auditor to review the authentication code in src/auth.ts."
- "/commit — create a conventional commit message for these staged changes."
- "Have the devops-troubleshooter help debug why my Docker container keeps OOMing."
- "/tdd — set up test-driven development scaffolding for the new payments module."Troubleshooting Build With Claude
/plugin command not recognised in Claude Code
Ensure you are running a recent version of the Claude Code CLI. Update with npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code, then restart Claude Code before retrying the marketplace add command.
Agents or commands are installed but Claude does not invoke them
Verify the plugin files were copied to the correct directories: agents go to ~/.claude/agents/ and commands go to ~/.claude/commands/. Restart Claude Code after copying so the new files are indexed.
npx buildwithclaude fails with a package not found error
The npx invocation requires network access to the npm registry. Confirm internet connectivity and that npm is configured correctly (npm config get registry). As a fallback, use the manual git clone installation path described in step 4.
