Install the plugin and sign in

The anthara plugin is installed per repository. Anthara opens a pull request that commits the plugin into the repository. After the pull request merges, Claude Code loads the plugin for everyone who opens that repository.

Before you begin

• You can sign in to your organization’s Anthara web app.
• The repository is already listed under Repositories. If it is not, follow Run your first assessment first.
• Claude Code is installed, and the claude command is on your PATH.

Add the plugin to the repository

1. In the web app, open Repositories and select the repository.
2. Find the banner that reads AI standards not active for this repository, and select Activate.
3. In the Activate Anthara dialog, choose a Memory group. The memory group decides which shared memory the repository’s sessions read and write.
4. Select Confirm. Anthara opens a pull request against the repository’s default branch.
5. Review and merge the pull request.

The pull request adds three things:

Path	Purpose
.claude/settings.json	Registers .anthara/ as a local plugin marketplace, enables anthara@anthara, and adds a session-start hook that installs the plugin.
.anthara/	The plugin itself: its skills, agents, and hooks.
.anthara/anthara/.mcp.json	The Fabric MCP endpoint, with your organization’s Fabric URL and the memory group you chose.

Anthara rewrites .anthara/ on every update, so don’t edit files in that folder by hand.

Load the plugin in Claude Code

1. Pull the merged change.

2. Start Claude Code in the repository:

   claude

3. Accept the prompt to trust the repository’s settings if Claude Code shows one.

The session-start hook installs the plugin for you. If the plugin’s commands don’t appear, run the same commands yourself from the repository root, and then restart Claude Code:

claude plugin marketplace add "$PWD/.anthara"
claude plugin install anthara@anthara

Sign in to Fabric

The plugin connects to Fabric with OAuth. You sign in once, and there is no API key to copy.

1. In Claude Code, type /mcp.
2. Select anthara-fabric, and then choose Authenticate.
3. In the browser window that opens, sign in with the same account you use for the Anthara web app.
4. On the Authorize access page, select Authorize.

Until you sign in, the plugin asks you to sign in on every prompt.

Check that it works

Type the following in Claude Code:

/anthara:start

The command asks what you want to work on and suggests which Anthara command to use next. If Claude Code doesn’t recognize the command, the plugin did not load. Run the two claude plugin commands above and restart Claude Code.
