🤖 Tip #52 — Plugins are installable bundles of skills, agents, rules, and MCP servers — like VS Code extensions for your terminal AI.

What Plugins Give You
- **What's in a plugin** — Skills (slash commands like /dx-plan, /aem-verify), agents (specialized AI personas), rules (convention templates for .claude/rules/), and MCP servers (external tool connections to ADO, AEM, Figma).
- **Cross-platform** — Works in both Claude Code and Copilot CLI. Install once, both tools discover skills, agents, rules, and MCP servers automatically.
- **No build step** — Plugins are pure Markdown + shell scripts. Install, init, use. No compilation or bundling needed.
- **Auto-discovery** — After install, everything is automatic. Skills show up as /commands, agents are available for dispatch, rules load based on file paths, and MCP servers connect on their own.
- **Public marketplaces** — Adobe publishes AEM Edge Delivery skills. You can create your own marketplace in any GitHub repo.

How to Install and Use
- 1 **Browse Adobe's skills** — Run `/plugin marketplace add adobe/skills` to register, then `/plugin list` to see what's available.
- 2 **Install from a marketplace**
- › `/plugin marketplace add owner/repo` — register a marketplace
- › `/plugin list --marketplace` — browse available plugins
- › `/plugin install plugin-name@marketplace` — install what you need
- › `/plugin marketplace update marketplace-name` — update all installed plugins
- 3 **Know the cross-platform differences**
- › Agents — Claude Code uses plugin agents/, Copilot uses .github/agents/
- › Rules — Claude Code uses native paths:, Copilot uses applyTo: env var
- › Hooks — Claude Code supports 18 events + prompt, Copilot supports 8 events
- 4 **Start small** — Install one plugin, run its init skill, and explore the slash commands it adds to your terminal.
