Summary

axme-code is now listed in anthropics/claude-plugins-community — the auto-populated Claude Code community marketplace (1636 plugins, separate from the curated claude-plugins-official). Users can install via the plugin system without downloading a binary. This PR adds the plugin install as the recommended path in the Quick Start.

Changes

  • Option 1 (recommended): /plugin install axme-code@claude-community — bundles MCP server, hooks, and CLI; works on Linux, macOS, and Windows natively (anywhere Claude Code runs). Also shows the CLI-equivalent commands (claude plugin marketplace add ...).
  • Option 2: existing install.sh binary path kept intact for standalone/scripting/non-Claude-Code use cases. Windows note clarified — binary path still requires WSL2, but the plugin path works on native Windows.

Why a separate community marketplace?

Submission form at claude.ai/settings/plugins/submit routes approved plugins to anthropics/claude-plugins-community (auto-populated, 1636 plugins). The curated -official catalog (144 plugins, shown on claude.com/plugins) is manually selected by Anthropic. Most third-party plugins live in community; this PR tells users how to install from there.

Known gap on Anthropic's side: claude.com/plugins web catalog and the default-added -official marketplace don't surface community plugins yet, which is why users need to add the community marketplace explicitly (see issue #1272).

Test plan

  • Verified install end-to-end on Linux:
    $ claude plugin install axme-code@claude-community
    ✔ Successfully installed plugin: axme-code@claude-community (scope: user)
    
    claude plugin list shows axme-code@claude-community v0.2.9, enabled.
  • Only README.md touched, no code changes.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

axme-code was approved and listed in anthropics/claude-plugins-community
(the auto-populated community marketplace, separate from the curated
claude-plugins-official). Users can now install via plugin without
downloading a binary — the plugin ships the MCP server, safety hooks,
and CLI bundled.

Reorganized Quick Start:
- Option 1 (recommended): /plugin install axme-code@claude-community
- Option 2: existing install.sh binary path, kept intact for users who
  want the standalone CLI (scripting, CI, non-Claude-Code contexts)

The plugin option works on Windows natively (through Claude Code's
plugin system), while the binary path still requires WSL2 there.
Clarified the Windows/WSL note to say so explicitly.

Verified the install command end-to-end on Linux:
  claude plugin install axme-code@claude-community
  ✔ Successfully installed plugin: axme-code@claude-community (scope: user)
  Version: 0.2.9  Status: enabled
The earlier commit on this PR claimed plugin v0.2.9 "works on Windows
natively". That's wrong: the plugin currently published in
claude-plugins-community is v0.2.9 which predates the native Windows
fixes on feat/native-windows-support-20260417 (atomicWrite fsync
write-fd, findClaudePath .cmd/.exe preference, claudePathForSdk
workaround for spawn EINVAL, etc.). Until that feature branch ships
in v0.3.0, both install paths have the same Windows story: WSL2 only.

Reverted Option 1 text to drop the "Linux, macOS, and Windows" claim,
and Option 2 back to the existing main-branch wording about WSL2.
