Claude Cowork plugins: a starter shortlist by job
One official plugin per job function, with what is inside each. Verified from Anthropic's repo - a map, not a hands-on review.
Anthropic open-sourced the plugins it built and uses internally, one per job function. This is the starter map: which plugin matches your job, and what ships inside it. Skill lists verified from the public repository (October 2026); we have not run them, so this is a map, not a review.

Pick one, not five
Install the single plugin for your job and use it for a week. The skills only cost anything when they are relevant, but focus beats coverage when you are learning what plugins do. Adding the official marketplace is one step - add a GitHub marketplace - and official vs community covers what the official label means. Deeper shortlists: consultants, operations.
