# How to Install the Everything Claude Code Plugin: 2 Methods Explained > Install the Everything Claude Code plugin easily with our guide. Learn the recommended marketplace method or manual file copy for WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code. - Repository: [WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code](https://github.com/WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code) - Tags: how-to-guide - Published: 2026-09-07 --- **The Everything Claude Code plugin can be installed via the Claude Code marketplace (recommended) or manually by copying files to your `~/.claude` configuration directory.** Everything Claude Code is a **Claude Code plugin** that bundles agents, skills, hooks, commands, and rules into a battle-tested workflow. This open-source repository from WorldFlowAI provides a complete productivity system for Claude Code users who want structured, opinionated development practices. ## Method 1: Marketplace Installation (Recommended) The fastest way to install the Everything Claude Code plugin uses Claude Code's built-in `/plugin` commands. This method automatically registers all components through the plugin manifest at [`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`](https://github.com/WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code/blob/main/.claude-plugin/plugin.json). Run these commands in your Claude Code session: ```bash # Add the repository as a marketplace source (one-time setup) /plugin marketplace add affaan-m/everything-claude-code # Install the plugin and all its components /plugin install everything-claude-code@everything-claude-code ``` The marketplace installation handles: - **Agents** — Sub-agents like [`code-reviewer.md`](https://github.com/WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code/blob/main/code-reviewer.md) and [`tdd-guide.md`](https://github.com/WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code/blob/main/tdd-guide.md) - **Commands** — Slash commands including `/tdd` and `/plan` - **Rules** — Always-follow guidelines for security, style, and testing - **Skills** — Workflow definitions and domain knowledge - **Hooks** — Automation triggers for memory persistence and other features ## Method 2: Manual Installation For offline setups or custom configurations, copy the plugin files directly into your Claude Code configuration. This approach is documented in the README at lines 11-32. Clone and install manually: ```bash # Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/affaan-m/everything-claude-code.git cd everything-claude-code # Copy core plugin components cp agents/*.md ~/.claude/agents/ cp rules/*.md ~/.claude/rules/ cp commands/*.md ~/.claude/commands/ cp -r skills/* ~/.claude/skills/ # Merge hooks configuration into your settings jq '.hooks += (import "hooks/hooks.json")' ~/.claude/settings.json > tmp && mv tmp ~/.claude/settings.json ``` The manual method requires the `jq` utility for JSON manipulation. Install it via your system package manager if needed. ## Optional: Configure Your Package Manager The Everything Claude Code plugin includes a cross-platform utility at [`scripts/setup-package-manager.js`](https://github.com/WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code/blob/main/scripts/setup-package-manager.js) that detects and configures your preferred Node.js package manager. ```bash # Detect current package manager setting node scripts/setup-package-manager.js --detect # Set a global default (npm, pnpm, yarn, or bun) node scripts/setup-package-manager.js --global pnpm ``` This configuration affects how the plugin's commands interact with Node.js projects. ## Verify Your Installation Confirm the Everything Claude Code plugin is active: ```bash # List all installed plugin commands /plugin list # Test a core command /tdd ``` Successful execution without errors indicates proper installation. The `/tdd` command triggers the test-driven development workflow defined in [`commands/tdd.md`](https://github.com/WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code/blob/main/commands/tdd.md). ## Key Plugin Files Understanding these files helps with troubleshooting and customization: - **[`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`](https://github.com/WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code/blob/main/.claude-plugin/plugin.json)** — Plugin manifest declaring agent, skill, command, and rule locations - **[`hooks/hooks.json`](https://github.com/WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code/blob/main/hooks/hooks.json)** — Central hooks definition enabling automation features - **`agents/`** — Markdown sub-agent definitions (e.g., [`code-reviewer.md`](https://github.com/WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code/blob/main/code-reviewer.md)) - **`commands/`** — Slash-command implementations (e.g., [`tdd.md`](https://github.com/WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code/blob/main/tdd.md), [`plan.md`](https://github.com/WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code/blob/main/plan.md)) - **`rules/`** — Persistent guidelines for Claude Code behavior - **`skills/`** — Reusable workflow and domain knowledge modules ## Summary - **Marketplace install** — Use `/plugin marketplace add` and `/plugin install` for automatic setup - **Manual install** — Copy files from `agents/`, `rules/`, `commands/`, and `skills/` to `~/.claude/` - **Package manager** — Run [`scripts/setup-package-manager.js`](https://github.com/WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code/blob/main/scripts/setup-package-manager.js) to configure npm/pnpm/yarn/bun preferences - **Verification** — Execute `/plugin list` and `/tdd` to confirm successful installation ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is the Everything Claude Code plugin? The Everything Claude Code plugin is a Claude Code extension that bundles pre-configured agents, commands, rules, skills, and hooks into a unified productivity system. It implements battle-tested workflows documented in the WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code repository, giving users structured approaches to code review, test-driven development, and project planning without manual configuration. ### Can I use the plugin offline? Yes. The manual installation method works entirely offline. Clone the repository once, then copy the required files to your `~/.claude/` directory without needing marketplace access. The plugin manifest at [`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`](https://github.com/WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code/blob/main/.claude-plugin/plugin.json) and all component files are self-contained in the repository. ### How do I uninstall or update the plugin? For marketplace installations, use `/plugin uninstall everything-claude-code` to remove the plugin, then `/plugin install everything-claude-code@everything-claude-code` to reinstall the latest version. For manual installations, delete the corresponding files from `~/.claude/agents/`, `~/.claude/rules/`, `~/.claude/commands/`, and `~/.claude/skills/`, then re-copy from a fresh clone. ### What Claude Code version is required? The plugin uses standard Claude Code plugin APIs introduced in early 2025. Ensure your Claude Code installation supports the `/plugin` command family. The repository's [`README.md`](https://github.com/WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code/blob/main/README.md) at lines 75-88 and [`plugins/README.md`](https://github.com/WorldFlowAI/everything-claude-code/blob/main/plugins/README.md) at lines 31-40 document any version-specific requirements.
