Installing via download
Download a persona zip from your library and extract it into your Claude skills directory. No GitHub required.
If you would rather not connect a GitHub account, download the persona directly.
Download the zip
Sign in to your library and open the persona's detail page. Every available persona has a Download
button once you are signed in and your subscription includes it. This gives you a zip named something like
<persona>-<version>.zip.
Extract it
Extract the zip into your Claude skills directory:
unzip <persona>-<version>.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/That's it, there is no separate install command for the download route. Claude Code picks up skills placed
under ~/.claude/skills/ directly.
Downloads do not auto-update
Personas installed by unzipping stay at whatever version you downloaded. The marketplace route updates automatically; the download route does not, so check back in your library for newer versions and re-download when you want to update. See Keeping personas updated.
No GitHub account needed
This route only needs your RolePlugin login. It works anywhere you can download a file and run unzip,
including machines where you do not want to set up GitHub access at all.
