Plugins

What are Claude Code plugins?

Plugins are add-ons that give Claude new abilities. Without plugins, Claude is a general-purpose AI assistant. With the right plugins installed, it becomes a specialist — in this case, a Figma plugin developer.

Think of plugins like apps on your phone: your phone works fine without them, but installing the right apps makes it much more useful for specific tasks.

What's pre-installed

This template comes with one plugin already set up:

Superpowers

The superpowers plugin adds structured workflows that help Claude work more carefully:

Brainstorming — Claude explores your idea and asks good questions before jumping into code
Planning — Claude breaks work into small, reviewable steps instead of doing everything at once
Code review — Claude checks its own work for mistakes before showing it to you
Test-driven development — Claude writes tests first to make sure the code actually works

Without this plugin, Claude would still write code — but it might skip important steps or make assumptions. Superpowers keeps it disciplined.

Finding more plugins

If you want to extend Claude's abilities further, you can browse and install community plugins:

In Claude Code, type /find-skills
Describe what you're looking for (e.g., "help with animations" or "database support")
Claude will suggest relevant plugins you can install

You can also visit skills.sh to browse available plugins.

How plugins are configured

Plugins are listed in .claude/settings.json under the enabledPlugins field. You don't normally need to edit this file — Claude handles installation for you. But if you're curious, this is what the current configuration looks like:

{
  "enabledPlugins": {
    "superpowers@claude-plugins-official": true
  }
}

Each plugin is identified by its name and source. The true value means it's active.
