Claude Code plugin

Install the Compass plugin for Claude Code, and let Claude author workflows and agents and drive the compass CLI for you.

Compass for Claude is a plugin for Claude Code that teaches Claude how Compass works. With it installed, you can ask Claude to build a workflow from a description of your process, create an agent, or operate Compass from the terminal — and it writes valid definitions, validates them, and deploys them with the compass CLI.

You'll find the same instructions in the app, at Settings → Developer → Claude Skills.

What it adds

The plugin adds three skills:

SkillWhat Claude can do with it
build-workflowAuthor a multi-step workflow — input, components, agents, output — against the workflow definition schema, then validate and deploy it.
build-agentAuthor an agent — instructions, a model through a provider connection, and optional tools — then deploy it.
cliOperate Compass from the command line: run and follow executions, inspect workflows, agents, connections, and datasets, decide approvals, and switch projects.

Install

Install and sign in to the CLI

The skills work through the compass CLI, so install it and log in first — see the API quickstart (steps 1–3).

Add the marketplace

In Claude Code, run:

/plugin marketplace add sageai-solutions/compass-marketplace

Install the plugin

/plugin install compass@sage

To pick up new versions later, run /plugin marketplace update.

Use it

Ask Claude in plain language — "build a workflow that splits an uploaded statement into pages and extracts the transactions from each" — and it picks the right skill. Or call one directly:

/compass:build-workflow
/compass:build-agent
/compass:cli

Claude acts through your CLI profile, so it has exactly the access your API key has, in the project your profile points at. What it builds lands as drafts and deployments you can open in Studio like anything else.
