The Preview Plugin¶
The preview plugin (plugins/preview/) is where release-candidate skills sit for one more round of real-world testing before they graduate into their division's plugin. If you want a look at what's coming next — or you're a contributor staging a skill for its final test pass — this page is for you.
The -pre staging lifecycle¶
Skills move through three stages, tracked by a name suffix:
-exp— earliest prototype stage. Experimental, not yet in pilot.-pre(this plugin) — release-candidate, in active pilot. The-presuffix exists so pilots know a skill isn't officially released yet.- Division plugin — at official release, the skill graduates into its real division plugin (
seo/,pdm/,geo/, etc.) and the suffix drops.
So seeing some-skill-pre means: it works, it's being piloted, and it hasn't officially shipped. Feedback during this stage is exactly what earns it a spot in the division plugin.
How to pilot a preview skill¶
Preview skills are distributed the same way as any other Claude.ai skill — through the Shared Skills lane. No local install or repo checkout needed. See Skills in Claude.ai for how to add a shared skill and run it in a conversation.
Current preview skills¶
The table below reflects what's in plugins/preview/skills/ today. Preview contents change as skills graduate to their division plugin or drop back to experimental — the plugin marketplace registry (.claude-plugin/marketplace.json) is the source of truth for exactly what's live right now.

GEO context¶
Several preview skills belong to GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — tracking and improving how a brand appears when people ask AI tools like ChatGPT or Perplexity questions about it. The GEO framing is Be Seen, Be Believed, Be Chosen:
- Be Seen — does the brand show up at all in AI answers.
- Be Believed — is what AI says about the brand accurate.
- Be Chosen — is the brand actively recommended, not just mentioned.
The underlying data source for these skills is Scrunch, Seer's AI-search-visibility tracking tool. GEO reporting doesn't repeat Scrunch's numbers directly — Seer calculates its own Visibility and Share of Voice metrics on top of it.
Preview isn't permanent¶
Nothing here is a stable long-term home. A -pre skill either graduates to its division plugin (suffix dropped) or gets sent back for more work. If you're building on a preview skill's output for anything long-lived, check back against the plugin marketplace registry rather than assuming today's -pre name will still be valid next month.
