Installation

Claude Code CLI

Install the entire marketplace (all plugins):

claude mcp add-marketplace shinyorg/skills

Install a single plugin:

claude plugin add shinyorg/skills/shiny-client
claude plugin add shinyorg/skills/shiny-mediator

You can also add plugins manually in your project's .claude/settings.json:

{
  "plugins": [
    "shinyorg/skills/shiny-client",
    "shinyorg/skills/shiny-mediator"
  ]
}

GitHub Copilot CLI

GitHub Copilot does not have a native plugin/marketplace system, so you reference skill files directly as custom instructions.

Option 1: VS Code settings

Add file references to the skills you need in your VS Code settings.json:

{
  "github.copilot.chat.codeGeneration.instructions": [
    { "file": "/path/to/skills/plugins/shiny-client/skills/shiny-bluetoothle/SKILL.md" },
    { "file": "/path/to/skills/plugins/shiny-mediator/skills/shiny-mediator/SKILL.md" }
  ]
}

Option 2: Workspace instructions

Create a .github/copilot-instructions.md file in your repository and paste the relevant skill content from the plugins/<plugin>/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md files.

Key Files

• marketplace.json — Top-level manifest that registers the marketplace and points to each plugin via relative paths.
• plugin.json — Per-plugin manifest containing name, version, description, keywords, and the path to its skills directory.
• SKILL.md — The skill itself: trigger conditions, usage guidance, code generation instructions, and best practices.
