Problem Statement
When cloning a repository to a new machine (including DevContainers and CodeSpaces), I want to automatically install pre-approved plugins.
Proposed Solution
For example, running npm install without specifying a package name will install all dependencies listed in package.json at once.
Similarly, I want claude plugin install --all to automatically install all plugins listed in settings.json that are currently enabled for the project.
The --all option should be usable in combination with the --scope option.
Alternative Solutions
Run the claude plugin install <plugin> command multiple times. But this is redundant.
Priority
Low - Nice to have
Feature Category
CLI commands and flags
Use Case Example
- Clone the repository into the devcontainer.
- Run the
claude plugin install --allcommand in the terminal. This can be automated by setting it in thepostCreateCommandfield ofdevcontainer.json. - All plugins are available from the start without needing to repeatedly run commands or restart claude code.
