New Knowledge Work Plugins
HR
The HR plugin automates the most time-consuming parts of the employee lifecycle. Give it access to your HR systems and it can draft job descriptions, generate offer letters, build personalized onboarding plans, and structure performance reviews.
Key commands:
/hr:write-job-description— Generate a complete JD from a role brief/hr:draft-offer-letter— Create an offer letter with your standard terms/hr:onboarding-plan— Build a day-by-day onboarding checklist for a new hire/hr:performance-review— Structure a performance review from manager notes
Connectors: Slack, Workday, Greenhouse, Notion, Microsoft 365
Best for: HR teams that are drowning in templated documents and want to focus on the human parts of the job.
Design
The Design plugin accelerates design workflows without replacing designers. It handles the parts of design work that slow teams down: writing UX copy, auditing interfaces for accessibility, and documenting design decisions.
Key commands:
/design:ux-copy— Generate interface copy for a given flow or component/design:accessibility-audit— Check a design description or screenshot against WCAG standards/design:design-doc— Write a design document from a Figma file or brief
Connectors: Figma, Notion, Slack, Jira, Linear
Best for: Product designers who spend too much time on UX writing and documentation rather than actual design work.
Engineering
The Engineering plugin removes process toil from engineering workflows. It writes standup summaries, structures incident postmortems, drafts runbooks, and helps coordinate response during outages.
Key commands:
/engineering:standup— Generate a standup update from your recent commits and tickets/engineering:incident-response— Structure an incident timeline and draft the postmortem/engineering:write-runbook— Create an operational runbook from a verbal description
Connectors: Slack, GitHub, Linear, Jira, PagerDuty, Notion
Best for: Engineering teams that want to reduce the overhead of process documentation so engineers can focus on shipping.
Operations
The Operations plugin handles the coordination work that keeps companies running: writing process docs, evaluating vendors, generating status reports, and managing cross-team dependencies.
Key commands:
/operations:process-doc— Document a business process from a description or recording/operations:vendor-eval— Create a vendor evaluation framework and score candidates/operations:status-report— Compile a cross-team status report from multiple sources
Connectors: Slack, Notion, Asana, Jira, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace
Best for: Ops and BizOps teams responsible for process improvement, vendor management, and organizational coordination.
Financial Analysis
The Financial Analysis plugin connects Claude to market data sources and financial modeling tools, enabling it to build models, parse earnings, research markets, and produce investor-ready presentations.
Key commands:
/financial-analysis:model— Build or update a financial model from assumptions/financial-analysis:market-research— Research a market, sector, or competitor/financial-analysis:earnings-summary— Parse and summarize an earnings release or transcript
Connectors: FactSet, MSCI, Snowflake, Daloopa, Morningstar, Microsoft 365
Best for: Corporate finance and FP&A teams building models and reporting packages.
New Financial Services Plugins
These four plugins are purpose-built for financial services professionals and live in a separate open-source repository: anthropics/financial-services-plugins.
They connect to specialized financial data providers (FactSet, MSCI, PitchBook, LSEG) and handle the document-heavy, data-intensive workflows that define institutional finance.
Investment Banking
The Investment Banking plugin handles the core workflows of an IB analyst or associate: pulling comparable company data, reviewing transaction documents, and preparing pitch materials.
Key commands:
/investment-banking:comps— Build a comparable companies or transactions table/investment-banking:deal-review— Review a CIM, IM, or data room document for key terms and risks/investment-banking:pitch-prep— Prepare a client pitch from a deal brief
Connectors: FactSet, MSCI, PitchBook, Chronograph, S&P Global, Microsoft 365
Equity Research
The Equity Research plugin is built around the earnings cycle. It parses transcripts, flags guidance changes, updates financial models, and drafts research notes—dramatically compressing the time from earnings release to published note.
Key commands:
/equity-research:earnings-parse— Extract key metrics, guidance, and management commentary from an earnings transcript/equity-research:update-model— Update a financial model with new actuals or guidance/equity-research:research-note— Draft a research note or sector update
Connectors: FactSet, LSEG, MT Newswires, Aiera, Morningstar, Microsoft 365
Private Equity
The Private Equity plugin supports the full deal lifecycle: sourcing opportunities, reviewing diligence documents, running scenario models, and scoring opportunities against investment criteria.
Key commands:
/private-equity:deal-source— Search for and summarize potential deals matching criteria/private-equity:document-review— Review an information memorandum or VDD for key risks and terms/private-equity:scenario-model— Build entry/exit scenarios with IRR and MOIC analysis
Connectors: PitchBook, Chronograph, Egnyte, Snowflake, Microsoft 365
Wealth Management
The Wealth Management plugin helps advisors analyze portfolios, identify drift, assess tax exposure, and generate rebalancing recommendations—tasks that typically require jumping between multiple systems.
Key commands:
/wealth-management:portfolio-analysis— Analyze a client portfolio for allocation, risk, and performance/wealth-management:drift-check— Identify positions that have drifted from target allocation/wealth-management:rebalance— Generate rebalancing recommendations with tax considerations
Connectors: Morningstar, MSCI, FactSet, Snowflake, Microsoft 365
Partner Plugins
Brand Voice (by Tribe AI)
Built by Tribe AI, the Brand Voice plugin enforces consistent brand tone and style across all Claude-generated content. Configure it with your brand guidelines and it automatically applies them to every piece of output.
Connectors: Notion, Slack, HubSpot, Figma
S&P Global
The S&P Global plugin gives Claude direct access to Capital IQ Pro data: company financials, market data, M&A transactions, and private company intelligence. No more switching tabs to pull data manually.
Connectors: Capital IQ Pro, Microsoft 365
LSEG
The LSEG plugin connects Claude to the London Stock Exchange Group's market data, news feeds, and financial analytics. Particularly useful for European markets and fixed income.
Connectors: LSEG Workspace, Microsoft 365
12 New Connectors
Beyond the plugins themselves, Anthropic added 12 new MCP connectors that can be used across multiple plugins:
| Connector | What it adds | |---|---| | Google Workspace | Calendar, Drive, Gmail, Docs in one connector | | DocuSign | Send and track eSignature requests | | FactSet | Real-time market data and fundamental analysis | | MSCI | Index data and performance benchmarking | | Apollo | B2B sales intelligence and contact data | | Outreach | Sales sequence management | | Harvey | AI-native legal document processing | | LegalZoom | Legal document filing and compliance | | WordPress | Publish content directly to WordPress sites | | Morningstar | Investment research and fund data | | PitchBook | Private company and VC/PE data | | Chronograph | LP and GP portfolio analytics |
Enterprise: Private Plugin Marketplace
The biggest organizational feature in this release is the Private Plugin Marketplace. Admins can now:
- Create a private marketplace connected to a private GitHub repository
- Control which plugins employees can discover and install
- Deploy plugins to teams — e.g., the Legal plugin to your legal team only
- Build private plugins and distribute them internally without making them public
This means organizations can create proprietary plugins for their internal processes (SOPs, templates, workflows) and distribute them to employees through the same interface as official Anthropic plugins.
Structured Command Forms
Slash commands now launch with structured input forms rather than requiring the user to know the exact syntax. When you type /equity-research:earnings-parse, Claude surfaces a form with fields for the ticker, period, and what to focus on. This makes plugins accessible to non-technical users.
Cross-App Orchestration
Claude can now orchestrate workflows that span Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint in a single session—building a financial model in Excel, then automatically generating a PowerPoint presentation from the model outputs, passing context seamlessly between the two apps.
