Before you install anything
Most of these are add-ons for Claude Code, which comes with any paid Claude plan. A few are apps you open on their own. Every install line below is copied from the repo's own README.
You need two things for most of them:
- Claude Code, for anything that adds a skill or a plugin.
- Node.js, for any line that starts with npx. Get it free from nodejs.org.
