Installing personas
Installing personas
Two routes to install a persona, the Claude Code marketplace or a direct download.
Every available persona can be installed two ways. Both give you the exact same plugin; the difference is how you get it and how it updates.
| Marketplace | Download | |
|---|---|---|
| Requires GitHub | Yes (free account) | No |
| Updates | Automatic | Manual, re-download |
| Install step | Point and click in Cowork, or /plugin in Claude Code | Unzip into ~/.claude/skills/ |
| Best for | Day-to-day Claude Code users | Avoiding an extra account, or pinning a version |
Marketplace route
Add the marketplace once, install and update from the CLI.
Download route
Download a zip from your library, extract it, done.
Once a persona is installed, see keeping personas updated, verifying an install, and uninstalling.
