f/prompts.chat's Claude Code Plugin for Prompts and Skills
By Flowy · Updated 2026-08-28
f/prompts.chat is a Claude Code plugin that connects a session to the prompts.chat library of AI prompts and Agent Skills. It adds two agents, two commands, one MCP server, and two auto-invoked skills for searching, saving, and installing prompts or Agent Skills. Use it instead of writing a prompt or skill from scratch.
What does the f/prompts.chat plugin do?
f/prompts.chat is the Claude Code plugin for prompts.chat, a self-hosted
library of AI prompts and Agent Skills that has picked up 167,890 GitHub
stars. Flowy files it under content, and the plugin's own summary is direct
about the job: it searches and retrieves prompts or skill definitions from
that library, and it runs whenever a session invokes the prompts or
skills command in a bash or docker environment. Seven components ship with
it in total: two agents, two commands, one MCP server, and two skills that
activate on their own when a request matches.
Why does it have two of almost everything?
The plugin covers two separate kinds of content on prompts.chat, prompts and Agent Skills, and gives each one the same three piece kit: a command you type, an agent that does the fuller work, and a skill that activates itself.
On the prompts side, the prompts command searches and discovers AI prompts
from prompts.chat. The prompt-manager agent goes further: it searches,
saves, improves, and organizes a prompt library rather than only finding
entries in it. The prompt-lookup skill activates on its own whenever a
request asks about AI prompts, needs a prompt template, asks to search for
prompts, or mentions prompts.chat by name, and it exists to help with
discovering, retrieving, and improving a prompt once found.
On the Agent Skills side, the skills command searches and discovers Agent
Skills from prompts.chat. The skill-manager agent searches, creates, and
manages multi-file skills for Claude Code, so it can produce a new skill and
not only locate an existing one. The skill-lookup skill activates when a
request asks to find skills, browse a skill catalog, install a skill for
Claude, or otherwise extend Claude's abilities with a reusable component. Its
own description names installing a skill as one of its jobs, not just
finding one, which makes it the piece that turns a search into something a
session can actually use.
What ties the two tracks together?
One MCP server sits under both tracks, and the fact pack names it
prompts.chat, the same name as the library itself. Its own one-line
description is blank in the fact pack, and the plugin's public repository
does not break its behavior down component by component either. What the
repository does say is that this MCP server is how outside tools reach the
library programmatically, rather than a person browsing the website by hand.
skill-lookup's own description backs that up, saying plainly that it works
"using MCP tools". Treat that as the shape of the MCP server's job, not a
full account of it.
When would this plugin actually help?
Reach for it in either of two moments: you want a prompt to start from
instead of writing one cold, or you want an existing Agent Skill instead of
authoring one from scratch. Both agents go past simple lookup once you are
there. prompt-manager can save and improve a prompt, and skill-manager
can create a brand new multi-file skill. If neither moment applies, the two
commands and two auto-invoked skills stay out of the way.
How do I install it?
Flowy indexes f/prompts.chat from its public GitHub repository. It doesn't
run the prompts.chat service, and it doesn't host, own, or bundle the
plugin. It points to the source and keeps the component list current.
Install from the listing page linked at the top of this guide, and its two
agents, two commands, one MCP server, and two skills become available in
that session.
Common questions
- What does the f/prompts.chat plugin do?
- It connects a Claude Code session to prompts.chat, a library of AI prompts and Agent Skills, through two agents (`prompt-manager`, `skill-manager`), two commands (`prompts`, `skills`), one MCP server, and two skills that activate on their own (`prompt-lookup`, `skill-lookup`). Flowy files it under content because its job is retrieving material from that library, not changing how code runs.
- What is the difference between the prompts command and the skills command?
- `prompts` searches and discovers AI prompts from prompts.chat, while `skills` searches and discovers Agent Skills from the same site. They are separate commands because the plugin treats prompts and Agent Skills as two different kinds of content, each with its own command, agent, and auto-invoked skill.
- Can this plugin install a new Agent Skill for me?
- Its `skill-lookup` skill is described as being able to search, retrieve, and install Agent Skills from the prompts.chat registry using MCP tools, and it activates on its own when a request asks to install a skill for Claude. The `skill-manager` agent goes further and can create a new multi-file skill rather than only find an existing one.
- What does the prompts.chat MCP server actually do?
- The fact pack behind this guide has no one-line description for the `prompts.chat` MCP server on its own. Based on the plugin's public repository and on the `skill-lookup` skill's own description, which says it works using MCP tools, this server is most likely the piece that lets the other components reach the prompts.chat library over a connection instead of a person browsing the site by hand.
- How many components does Flowy index for f/prompts.chat?
- Flowy indexes 7 components for f/prompts.chat: 2 agents (`prompt-manager`, `skill-manager`), 2 commands (`prompts`, `skills`), 1 MCP server (`prompts.chat`), and 2 skills (`prompt-lookup`, `skill-lookup`). The components split evenly across two tracks, one for prompts and one for Agent Skills, with the single MCP server sitting underneath both.
