Anthropic's Official Plugin Directory Carries 841 Open Issues and an Explicit Disclaimer That It Cannot Verify What Plugins Do
anthropics/claude-plugins-official (32,774 stars, 3,700 forks, 2,597 commits, Apache 2.0) splits into /plugins for Anthropic-maintained entries and /external_plugins for partner and community submissions, which enter through a review form at clau.de/plugin-directory-submission against quality and security standards. Two details matter for anyone publishing: plugin `name` slugs are immutable once published — you use `displayName` for UI labels and a `renames` map in marketplace.json for unavoidable changes — and Anthropic states directly that users must trust plugins before installing because it does not control which MCP servers or files are bundled and cannot verify functionality. The 841 open issues suggest submission volume is outpacing review throughput.
