Cowork Plugin Management (Build Your Own)

The cowork-plugin-management plugin is Anthropic's meta-plugin for building your own. It ships two skills: create-cowork-plugin (guides users through creating a new plugin from scratch in a Cowork session — walks scaffolding, MCP config, skill drafting, and delivers a .plugin file to the outputs directory) and cowork-plugin-customizer (customizes an existing plugin for a specific organization's tools and workflows — adjusts connectors, skill files, and slash commands to match how the team actually operates). Every component is file-based markdown and JSON.

What you get

• create-cowork-plugin skill (scaffolds a new plugin from scratch, produces a .plugin file)
• cowork-plugin-customizer skill (adjusts an existing plugin's connectors, skills, and commands)
• file-based markdown + JSON structure (.claude-plugin/plugin.json, .mcp.json, commands/, skills/)
• no build step required

Customize your output

• Mode: create-new vs customize-existing
• Target plugin: sales, marketing, productivity, etc.
• Customization scope: connectors, skills, commands, terminology

Example output

Given 'customize the sales plugin for our team', the customizer swaps the CRM connector from HubSpot to Salesforce, drops team-specific terminology ("deal" → "opportunity") into the account-research skill, and adds a /qbr slash command.

Best for

Cowork admins, ops leads, and platform teams building or tailoring plugins for their org
