| 44 | ## Quick Start |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ### Installation |
| 47 | |
| 48 | **Claude Code** (premier experience) — install the ArcKit plugin (requires **v2.1.200+**): |
| 49 | |
| 50 | First, make sure Claude Code is on the latest version: |
| 51 | |
| 52 | ```bash |
| 53 | claude install latest |
| 54 | ``` |
| 55 | |
| 56 | Then in Claude Code: |
| 57 | |
| 58 | ```text |
| 59 | /plugin marketplace add tractorjuice/arckit-claude |
| 60 | ``` |
| 61 | |
| 62 | Then install from the Discover tab, or via CLI. The marketplace ships **15 plugins** — install only the overlays you need: |
| 63 | |
| 64 | ```bash |
| 65 | # Core (75 commands — UK Government civilian + generic enterprise) |
| 66 | claude plugin install arckit@arckit-claude |
| 67 | |
| 68 | # Core + UAE federal |
| 69 | claude plugin install arckit arckit-uae |
| 70 | |
| 71 | # Broad overlay set (UK + UAE + FR + CA + EU + AT + AU + US + UK-NHS + UK-GCloud) |
| 72 | claude plugin install arckit arckit-{uae,fr,ca,eu,at,au,us,uk-nhs,uk-gcloud} |
| 73 | |
| 74 | # Enterprise architecture and AI agent governance overlays |
| 75 | claude plugin install arckit arckit-togaf-adm arckit-agent-architecture |
| 76 | ``` |
| 77 | |
| 78 | The standalone `tractorjuice/arckit-claude` marketplace hosts all Claude Code plugins: the `arckit` core plugin, regional overlays, sector overlays, the TOGAF ADM and AI agent architecture overlays, the `arckit-fde` tooling plugin, and the public-but-proprietary `arckit-uk-gcloud` supplier overlay. The 13 community plugins (`arckit-uae`, `arckit-fr`, `arckit-ca`, `arckit-eu`, `arckit-at`, `arckit-au`, `arckit-au-energy`, |
