A leaderboard for the Claude Code plugin gold rush
An automated index that ranks GitHub repositories by Claude Code plugin adoption, because someone had to keep score in the plugin land grab.

What it does Indexes GitHub repositories to surface the top 100 by Claude Code plugin adoption, tracking stars, subscribers, and plugin counts across a claimed 26,930+ repos. The output is a ruthlessly simple ranked table—no prose, no reviews, just raw metrics.
The interesting bit
It treats the emerging Claude Code plugin ecosystem like a stock exchange, publishing a leaderboard where official Anthropic repos, meme skills like caveman, and agent harnesses all compete for rank. The automation angle—n8n workflows, per the repo description—turns what could be a manual awesome-list into a census.
Key highlights
- Claims 26,930 repositories indexed as of the last update
- Ranks repos by stars, subscribers, and plugin counts
- Surfaces both official Anthropic plugins and community experiments
- Built in TypeScript with n8n workflow automation (per project description)
- Exposes ecosystem trends: memory tools, skills frameworks, and UI generators dominate the top 50
Caveats
- The README is just a table—no methodology, no explanation of how “Subs” or “Plugins” are counted, and no sign of the n8n automation pipeline
- Contains apparent duplicates (e.g.,
Understand-Anything,headroom, andmempalaceeach appear twice in the top 35), suggesting deduplication isn’t handled
Verdict Useful if you’re building or evaluating Claude Code plugins and want a raw popularity signal. Avoid if you expect curation or methodology transparency—this is a scraped leaderboard, not a reviewed directory.
