Anthropic's terminal coding agent: understands your codebase, edits code, runs commands and handles git workflows, with plugins, MCP and a headless mode (claude -p). Sign in with a Claude account or set an API key.

GitHub's official CLI: manage pull requests, issues, releases and Actions workflows from the terminal. Most commands support --json output that agents can parse, and an official agent skill is available. Run gh auth login first.

GitHub's official MCP server: lets agents read and write repositories and code, manage issues and pull requests, and check Actions workflows and code-scanning alerts. Use the hosted remote server or run it locally in Docker; needs a personal access token or OAuth.

Design engineering skills by Emil Kowalski, author of Sonner and Vaul: choose animation easing and durations, review and improve motion, apply Apple design principles, make web apps feel native on phones, and help pick UI libraries and prototype multiple versions.

Connects GitHub's official remote MCP server to manage issues and PRs, review code, search repos and call the GitHub API from Claude Code. Requires GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN.

Connects GitLab's official remote MCP server (beta) so Claude can work with repos, merge requests, CI/CD pipelines, issues and wikis on GitLab.com. MCP access must be enabled on the top-level group, with browser OAuth. In Anthropic's official plugin marketplace.

Multi-host plugin marketplace with 90+ single-purpose plugins, 200+ subagents and 180+ skills covering language-specific development, ops, security, data and multi-agent orchestration. Installing a plugin loads only that plugin's content.

Everyday software engineering plugin: standup summaries, code review, structured debugging, architecture decision records, incident response and pre-deploy checks. Official from Anthropic, built mainly for Cowork but also usable in Claude Code.

Reviews UI code against Vercel's Web Interface Guidelines, covering accessibility, focus, forms, animation, typography, dark mode and more, listing issues as file:line. Fetches the latest rules before each review. Maintained by Vercel.

Bundles 60+ full-stack specialist skills into one plugin: experts for 12 languages including Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust and Java, and frameworks like React, Django and Spring Boot, activated automatically by request. Also includes Jira and Confluence workflow commands (needs Atlassian MCP).

Design engineer Jakub Krehel's 11 UI skills: targeted fixes for typography, color, layout, accessibility and UI copy, plus full interface reviews, animation teardowns, component state stress tests and multi-variant generation. Works on web project code; installing needs Node.js.

Polishes existing motion against the transitions.dev token scale for duration, distance, scale, blur and easing, matching each value by what the motion does rather than the nearest number, with rules for open/close asymmetry, hover in and out, stagger and intent delays.

Design engineer Jakub Krehel's UI polish skill covering animation, typography, icons, hover states, optical alignment, concentric radii, shadows and hit areas, with quick and full review modes, so agents get the details right when building or reviewing UI. Works on web code; needs Node.js.

Community-maintained GitLab MCP server: manage projects, merge requests, issues, pipelines, wikis and releases, with support for self-hosted instances and a read-only mode. Needs a GitLab personal access token or OAuth.

Manages stacked branches and dependent pull requests with the gh stack GitHub CLI extension: splits work into layered branches with one PR each, then handles push, submit, sync, rebase and merge, using flags that keep commands non-interactive for agents. Official GitHub skill.

Companion skill to the User Interface Wiki: 152 rules in 12 categories, from motion, easing and exit animations to UI sounds, interaction laws, prefetching and typography, for writing or reviewing web UI code, with issues listed by file:line. Needs an existing web project and Node.js to install.

Miro's official plugin with the Miro remote MCP and three skills: draw codebase explanations on a board, run visual code reviews on the board, and turn board docs, diagrams and prototypes into development specs. Needs OAuth with a Miro account.

Audits Web Audio API code for procedural UI sound synthesis: reusing one AudioContext, resuming when suspended, disconnecting nodes, exponential decay envelopes, noise for clicks and parameter choices, with findings reported as file:line.

Audits UI code for audio feedback: every sound needs a visual equivalent, an off switch and volume control, and should respect reduced motion. Sound is for confirmations and errors, not typing or decorative hovers. Also checks preloading, default volume and sound weight. Reports file:line findings.

Audits animation code for the right timing function: springs for gestures and interruptible motion, easing for system-driven state changes, linear for progress, and no animation for high-frequency interactions. Also checks spring parameters and durations. Reports file:line findings.

Audits animation code against Disney's 12 principles adapted for the web, checking timing, easing, physics and staging rules such as user-initiated motion under 300ms and ease-out entrances, and reports findings as file:line.

PagerDuty's official plugin: analyzes your current git diff against the service's past incidents and change events, gives a 0-5 risk score and suggestions before you commit, and can create PagerDuty SRE Agent skills (early access program required). Needs a PagerDuty API token.
