Five plugins, one dev team: the five install commands

The five install commands for the five plugins that fill an empty dev team, one for each seat — memory, design, planning, review, security. Every name and count from the CLI, checked 2026-09-12.

Every name and count on this page came out of claude plugin details in one repository on 2026-09-11. Every count here came from the CLI; the one quoted description is Anthropic’s own. The token figures are the CLI’s own projection, which it labels an estimate.

Before you start: you probably do not need to add a marketplace. Claude Code “registers it automatically the first time you start Claude Code interactively” (Claude Code docs). If your first run was non-interactive, or a policy blocked it, you add it yourself with claude plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official. Check which case you are in with claude plugin marketplace list.

1. Memory: `claude-md-management`

claude plugin install claude-md-management@claude-plugins-official

What arrives: two skills, claude-md-improver and revise-claude-md. Resident cost: ~177 tokens per session. What it takes off you: keeping the project memory file current, so a new session doesn’t start with you retyping context. When it’s not worth it: if you have nothing written down yet, the first run is mostly an interview.

Check it worked: run claude plugin details claude-md-management@claude-plugins-official. You should see Skills (2) and the two names above.

2. Design: `frontend-design`

claude plugin install frontend-design@claude-plugins-official

What arrives: one skill. Resident cost: ~80 tokens, the cheapest of the five. What it takes off you: the design seat. Its own description promises “distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality,” and “code that avoids generic AI aesthetics.” When it’s not worth it: it raises the floor, not the ceiling. Taste is still yours.

3. Planning: `feature-dev`

claude plugin install feature-dev@claude-plugins-official

What arrives: three agents: code-explorer, code-architect, code-reviewer. Resident cost: ~240 tokens. What it takes off you: the argument that should happen before anything gets built. When it’s not worth it: a ten-line change. Three agents cost three agents’ worth of time.

4. Review: `pr-review-toolkit`

claude plugin install pr-review-toolkit@claude-plugins-official

What arrives: six agents: code-reviewer, silent-failure-hunter, code-simplifier, comment-analyzer, pr-test-analyzer, type-design-analyzer. Resident cost: ~2,035 tokens, the most expensive of the five. What it takes off you: reading the code line by line before it ships. When it’s not worth it: those tokens are charged every session, review or no review. Disable it between projects with claude plugin disable pr-review-toolkit@claude-plugins-official.

5. Security: `claude-security`

claude plugin install claude-security@claude-plugins-official

What arrives: eight agents, the largest headcount of the five: explore, patch-generator, patch-verifier, scan-verifier, scan-researcher, scan-loader, scan-inventory, claude-security. Three hooks come with them, but they print the plugin’s banner and count its usage; they do not scan anything on their own. Resident cost: ~696 tokens. What it takes off you: asking whether it’s safe to ship, and checking your own answer. The patch generator’s instructions say it never judges its own work; the patch verifier’s set its default to REJECT, so a fix has to earn a pass. When it’s not worth it: it reviews code in your own session. It is not a penetration test and won’t audit code you didn’t write.

The totals

	Count
Dev-team seats filled	5 — planning, design, review, security, memory
Commands to run	5
Agents added	17
Distinct agent names	16 (`code-reviewer` ships in two plugins)
Resident tokens, all five enabled	~3,228 (CLI projection)

Turn any of them off without uninstalling:

claude plugin disable <name>@claude-plugins-official

How these five were picked. The official marketplace held 294 plugins on 2026-09-11. Anything needing an account, a key, or a payment was cut, because you can’t follow along without one. Language servers were cut, because nothing shows on screen. What was left got sorted by the seat it fills for someone running Claude Code raw, and the best one in each seat is above.
