Static sites, frontend, and backendTwo sites look equally finished, but one ships by copying a folder, while the other needs a server running a program, a database, and secrets. Here is what a static site is, how frontend differs from backend, where data lives, and why that decides the way you publish. Plus a table of hosting options for static files and for programs, and what to ask the agent before it offers to "spin up a server". How to pick a plugin and install it safelyA plugin is not "a bigger skill", it is a stamped crate that, besides abilities, can hold programs, automatic reactions and cables out to external services, and all of it runs with your permissions. Let's look at what is inside, where marketplaces come from and how the three sources differ, what Claude Code shows you before you install, who gets the plugin and what it costs in context. How to install it, try it on your own task, disable it and remove it, and why the same questions are worth asking about any downloaded skill.
