Skills & Plugins

Author and import Claude Skills and Plugins. Sync an org manifest across every user.

Claude Skills

A Claude Skill is a bundle of instructions, allowed tools, and helper files that an agent can invoke. NBI manages them from a Skills tab in Settings.

  • Author inline. Create a new Skill, edit its SKILL.md and helper files without leaving the lab.
  • Import from GitHub. Drop a github.com/owner/repo/tree/main/skills/<name> URL into the import dialog; NBI fetches the tarball, validates the bundle, and installs it under ~/.jupyter/skills/.
  • Org-managed manifest. Point NBI_SKILLS_MANIFEST at a YAML manifest file or URL. NBI’s reconciler installs every Skill in the manifest at startup and re-checks every 24h. Managed Skills are read-only in the UI — users can’t edit, rename, or delete them, and the reconciler restores any that get removed.

Claude Plugins

Claude Plugins are install-and-go bundles published to marketplaces. NBI’s Plugins panel wraps the claude plugin CLI:

  • Install, uninstall, enable, disable. From a marketplace URL or a GitHub repo.
  • Marketplace add/remove. Manage which marketplaces are visible to Claude.
  • Project vs user scope. Plugins installed to a project root are isolated to that workspace.
