Tips

• Always start with --all and then refine further
• If user requiremets are unclear you can ask a question with the AskUserQuestion tool and a few options to clear the ambiguity
• Use -d for recommendations: Always use

  -d plugin1 plugin2 plugin3

  when recommending plugins to provide installation instructions
• Check marketplaces: Use

  --list

  to see all available marketplaces and categories
• Filter effectively: Combine

  -m

  and

  -c

  to narrow results (e.g.,

  --all -m anthropics-skills -c productivity

  )
