Cowork Plugin Management (Build Your Own)
Create new plugins or customize existing ones for your organization's tools, terminology, and workflows.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I can help you think through customizing a sales plugin for your team. You'd want to look at what connectors are available and see if you can swap them out for what you use. You might also need to adjust some of the terminology or commands to match how your team works. It depends on what's in the plugin and how flexible it is. If you show me what you're working with, I can suggest some customization ideas.
COWORK SALES PLUGIN CUSTOMIZATION
PLUGIN: sales-plugin (base)
OBJECTIVE: Adapt for Salesforce-first workflow (currently configured for HubSpot)
STEP 1: CONNECTOR SWAP
FROM: HubSpot MCP (hubspot-connector)
TO: Salesforce MCP (salesforce-connector)
Config change in .claude-plugin/plugin.json:
"connectors": [
{
"id": "salesforce",
"type": "salesforce",
"credentials": "SALESFORCE_ORG_ID"
}
]
STEP 2: TERMINOLOGY MAPPING
Update skills/account-research/SKILL.md to replace HubSpot language with Salesforce equivalents:
• "Company" → "Account" (Salesforce standard)
• "Deal" → "Opportunity"
• "Contact Property" → "Salesforce Field"
• "Meetings" → "Activities" (Salesforce Activity Timeline)
STEP 3: SLASH COMMAND CUSTOMIZATION
Add two new commands to commands/slash.json:
/opp-summary: Poll Salesforce for a given Account's top 3 Opportunities, calc close probability
/activity-log: Show recent Activities (calls, emails, tasks) for a Contact
STEP 4: SKILL ADAPTATION
Remove: skills/hubspot-deals/ folder
Keep: skills/account-research/, skills/deal-qualification/, skills/call-prep/
Adapt: All skill queries now pull from Salesforce Objects (Accounts, Opportunities, Contacts, Activities) instead of HubSpot.
STEP 5: DEPLOY & TEST
Run: cowork-plugin-customizer with mode: "customize-existing", scope: "connectors, terminology, commands"
Test: /account-research on a real Salesforce Account; verify Opportunity data populates correctly.
DELIVERABLE:
Customized .plugin file ready to install in your Cowork session. All team terminology now matches Salesforce mental models.About this skill

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
