Ask your agent to install it
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent that can run commands — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this skill's install guide, shows you its source, license and scripts, and installs it with the SourceWeft CLI once you agree.
Read https://sourceweft.com/skills/gh-anthropics-claude-plugins-official-plugin-structure/install.md and install the skill it describes. Before installing, show me its source, license and whether it ships scripts, and wait for my OK. Ask me before changing anything else on my machine.Install it yourself from a terminal
For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other local agents. The SourceWeft CLI fetches the skill from its source repository at the commit scanned here, and verifies every file against the hashes recorded when the skill was scanned. If anything differs, nothing is written.
npx @sourceweft/cli skills install gh-anthropics-claude-plugins-official-plugin-structureAdd --agent claude-code, codex, cursor or universal to choose which agent gets it (Claude Code by default).
Upstream installer — not verified by SourceWeft
The open-source skills installer fetches the same pinned commit, but does not check the files against the hashes SourceWeft recorded.

Project Artifact
anthropics
Generate and publish a project status artifact — an opinionated, tabbed status page for a project too big for one update (overview & success criteria, the workstream sequence, next steps, plus background, plan, risks & open questions, and decisions/FAQ when they earn a tab) — published with the built-in Artifact tool to a default-private claude.ai page the user can share with teammates. Use when a piece of work spans several workstreams and you want a shareable overview kept current. Each artifact is backed by a small per-project config in the plugin data dir, so refreshing it re-gathers live state, redeploys the same URL, and reports only the delta. For software projects whose workstreams are PRs, also read swe.md (the X.Y PR-numbering convention; pulling PR state with gh/git; a per-PR detail block). Needs the built-in Artifact tool (claude.ai login). Not for single-PR changes or public docs.
