This is a Codex-compatible fork of Anthropic's knowledge-work-plugins repo.
Use this repo if you found the original Claude Cowork or Claude Code knowledge-work plugins, but you are using OpenAI Codex and need .codex-plugin/plugin.json manifests plus a Codex .agents/plugins/marketplace.json index.
This repo is a Codex-compatible fork of Anthropic's knowledge-work-plugins content. It keeps the role workflows, skills, commands, and MCP configs, and changes the packaging to the Codex marketplace layout.
- Local plugins live under
plugins/<name>. - Each plugin has
.codex-plugin/plugin.json. - The Codex marketplace index lives at
.agents/plugins/marketplace.json. - Upstream remote-only marketplace entries are excluded because their files are not in this checkout.
Register this repo as a Codex marketplace source:
codex plugin marketplace add myl7/knowledge-work-plugins-for-codex
List the available plugins:
codex plugin list --marketplace knowledge-work-plugins-for-codex
Install a plugin:
codex plugin add product-management@knowledge-work-plugins-for-codex
Run the repo-owned validation:
pnpm test
For stricter local validation, run Codex's plugin validator over each plugin:
for plugin in plugins/*; do
python3 /home/myl/.codex/skills/.system/plugin-creator/scripts/validate_plugin.py "$plugin"
done
The marketplace currently includes every local plugin source from the upstream checkout:

Source content comes from https://github.com/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins.
This section includes the upstream README overview so Codex users can understand the original plugin collection without opening the Anthropic repo. Claude install commands below are original upstream context; use the Codex install commands near the top of this README for this fork.
Plugins that turn Claude into a specialist for your role, team, and company. Built for Claude Cowork, also compatible with Claude Code.
Cowork lets you set the goal and Claude delivers finished, professional work. Plugins let you go further: tell Claude how you like work done, which tools and data to pull from, how to handle critical workflows, and what slash commands to expose, so your team gets better and more consistent outcomes.
Each plugin bundles the skills, connectors, slash commands, and sub-agents for a specific job function. Out of the box, they give Claude a strong starting point for helping anyone in that role. The real power comes when you customize them for your company: your tools, your terminology, your processes, so Claude works like it was built for your team.

# Add the marketplace first
claude plugin marketplace add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins
# Then install a specific plugin
claude plugin install sales@knowledge-work-plugins
Once installed, plugins activate automatically. Skills fire when relevant, and slash commands are available in your session (e.g., /sales:call-prep, /data:write-query).
Every plugin follows the same structure:
plugin-name/
|-- .claude-plugin/plugin.json # Manifest
|-- .mcp.json # Tool connections
|-- commands/ # Slash commands you invoke explicitly
`-- skills/ # Domain knowledge Claude draws on automatically
- Skills encode the domain expertise, best practices, and step-by-step workflows Claude needs to give you useful help. Claude draws on them automatically when relevant.
- Commands are explicit actions you trigger (e.g.,
/finance:reconciliation,/product-management:write-spec). - Connectors wire Claude to the external tools your role depends on - CRMs, project trackers, data warehouses, design tools, and more - via MCP servers.
Every component is file-based: markdown and JSON, no code, no infrastructure, no build steps.
These plugins are generic starting points. They become much more useful when you customize them for how your company actually works:
- Swap connectors: Edit
.mcp.jsonto point at your specific tool stack. - Add company context: Drop your terminology, org structure, and processes into skill files so Claude understands your world.
- Adjust workflows: Modify skill instructions to match how your team actually does things, not how a textbook says to.
- Build new plugins: Use the
cowork-plugin-managementplugin or follow the structure above to create plugins for roles and workflows not covered yet.
As your team builds and shares plugins, Claude becomes a cross-functional expert. The context you define gets baked into every relevant interaction, so leaders and admins can spend less time enforcing processes and more time improving them.
Plugins are just markdown files. Fork the repo, make your changes, and submit a PR.
