Skills. Plugins. Connectors.
The add-ons our coaches set up most often, in plain English. This is where most of the other 90% hides.
Skills
Folders of written instructions, plus optional scripts and files, that Claude loads only when a task needs them. Use one when you want Claude to follow your process every time, like your report format or contract checklist.
Plugins
Installable packages that bundle skills, connectors, commands and agents into one add-on. They work in Claude chat, Cowork and Claude Code, and can be shared across a team.
MCP connectors
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI to outside tools and data. A connector links Claude to a service so it can read from it and take actions in it.
