Slack's auth server does not support dynamic client registration, so a
bare {type, url} config fails in Claude Code with "Incompatible auth
server: does not support DCR" before the OAuth prompt appears.
Cowork/Desktop resolve these via the claude.ai connector directory and
don't hit this, but Claude Code does raw OAuth against the URL. The
broken entry also shadows the working claude.ai Slack passthrough
(manual > plugin > claude.ai dedup), so users lose Slack entirely.
Adds the same oauth.{clientId, callbackPort} block already present in
partner-built/slack/.mcp.json to all 12 role plugins.

Operations Plugin
A business operations plugin primarily designed for Cowork, Anthropic's agentic desktop application — though it also works in Claude Code. Helps with vendor management, process documentation, change management, capacity planning, compliance tracking, and resource planning. Works with any ops team — standalone with your input, supercharged when you connect your ITSM, project tracker, and other tools.
Installation
claude plugins add knowledge-work-plugins/operations
Commands
Explicit workflows you invoke with a slash command:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/vendor-review |
Evaluate a vendor — cost analysis, risk assessment, contract summary, and renewal recommendation |
/process-doc |
Document a business process — flowcharts, RACI matrices, SOPs, and runbooks |
/change-request |
Create a change management request — impact analysis, rollback plan, approval routing |
/capacity-plan |
Plan resource capacity — workload analysis, headcount modeling, utilization forecasting |
/status-report |
Generate a status report — project updates, KPIs, risks, and action items for leadership |
/runbook |
Create or update an operational runbook — step-by-step procedures for recurring tasks |
All commands work standalone (provide context and details) and get supercharged with MCP connectors.
