Problem Statement

The field category can be specified for each plugin in a marketplace. However, it's just metadata, it doesn't have any use, yet.

It could be used to allow us to install the plugins of a whole category with a single command, instead of needing to install one by one or creating custom scripts that iterate the marketplace.

Proposed Solution

Something like claude plugin install --category my-skills --marketplace example or claude plugin install my-skills@example where my-skills is the name of the category.

CLI commands and flags

Use Case Example

A Platform team provides skills for different purposes, for example, Terraform, GitHub Actions, AWS/Boto3 operations, etc.

A developer only interested in the Terraform skills would just install that category and no more.

Likewise, assume there are 50 plugins per category, the current approach is to install one by one (or develop a custom script for that). That's a very tedious approach. There should be a native solution to streamline this operation.
