How to Install Plugins in Claude Code & Cowork

Installing plugins in Claude Code and Cowork is designed to be simple. One command, no dependencies, no configuration files to manage.

This guide walks through the process from purchase to first use.

What You Get

When you purchase a plugin from Leopoldo, you receive a complete kit containing agents, orchestrators, and hooks that give Claude deep domain expertise. Each component defines:

  • Purpose: What it does
  • When to use: Trigger conditions
  • Process: Step-by-step methodology
  • Output: Expected deliverables
  • Quality gates: Minimum quality thresholds

Plugins are not prompts. They are codified expertise built with a structured methodology.

Installation: Claude Code

After purchase, you receive a download link. Extract the plugin to your project:

1. Download the plugin archive 2. Extract to your project root 3. Claude Code auto-discovers the plugin contents

That's it. No npm install, no configuration files, no environment variables.

Installation: Claude Cowork

Cowork plugins install the same way. The plugin ships as a Cowork-compatible package with a .claude-plugin manifest. Drop it into your workspace and Cowork discovers the contents automatically.

Verification

After installation, you can verify the plugin is active by asking Claude about its capabilities. Each plugin's agents, orchestrators, and hooks will be available immediately.

Compatibility

All Leopoldo plugins are tested on both Claude Code and Claude Cowork. They use standard formats -- no platform-specific code, no external dependencies.

Quality and Updates

Every plugin is security tested before release. Purchases include 12 months of live updates -- new capabilities, methodology improvements, and compatibility updates delivered automatically.

Bundles

If you need multiple plugins, bundles offer significant savings. The Finance Bundle ($499) includes all five finance plugins. The Complete Bundle ($799) covers all ten premium plugins.
