Platform · The Kowalah Plugin
Run your programme from inside Claude.
The Kowalah Plugin brings your AI operating model into Claude: your vision, your processes, your constraints and what is already in flight. Start from nothing, sign in, and map the model as you go.
Available in Claude's plugin directory. Free to start, sign in with your work email.
Why it matters
You should not have to log in
to run your AI programme.
Most programme software assumes you will come to it. The Kowalah Platform holds the operating model, the pipeline, the governance and the record of what was decided, and it stays the system of record. The plugin is how you reach all of it without leaving the conversation you are already in.
So the platform is where your programme lives, and Claude is where you work on it. A process mapped in a conversation is written straight back into the model, which is what keeps the record current instead of letting it go stale between reviews.
Install it
Add it to Claude in one click.
Kowalah is in Claude's plugin directory. On Team and Enterprise plans your Claude owner makes it available and adds its connector first; on Pro and Max you add it yourself. Connect with your work email address, because the domain is what places you in your company's organisation, then run /kowalah-setup to confirm what your account can see.
On Claude Team or Enterprise
Your Claude owner goes first: they make Kowalah available from the Inventory tab and add the Kowalah connector in Organization settings, because members cannot add it themselves. Then your people find Kowalah in their own Discover tab, add it, and connect.
On Claude Pro or Max
Open the Kowalah listing and click Add. Then open the plugin's Connectors tab and connect Kowalah, because adding a plugin does not sign you in. Directory installs update as we ship.
Open the listing →Or in Claude Code
Plugins added in Claude sync to Claude Code when you sign in with the same account. Or two commands: add our marketplace, then install the plugin.
/plugin marketplace add kowalah-dev/kowalah-plugin /plugin install kowalah@kowalah
Kowalah not in your Discover tab? On Team and Enterprise plans, your Claude owner has to make it available first. The install guide has the steps to send them.
You do not need a Kowalah engagement to start. Signing in creates your account, and if nobody from your company is here yet you get your own organisation with you as its admin, ready to map from an empty model. If your company already has a Kowalah organisation, your account joins that one as a member instead, and an admin there can raise your access. Every tool is scoped to the organisations you belong to.
What is in it
The connector, plus ten skills
that know how to read the model.
A connector on its own gives Claude your data. The skills give it the judgement to use it: what to check first, what a missing measurement means, and when to stop asking and go and look. You do not have to remember the names, they activate when the conversation fits.
Coverage, where constraints concentrate, and whether the work in flight is aimed at the actual gaps. Tests everything against your AI vision map.
What AI you actually have: the tools, what people have built and switched on in them, how each is held, what is unsanctioned or risky, and what renews soon.
Records value AI has actually delivered, time saved, cost reduced, revenue won, against the work that produced it and the vision measure it counts towards.
Reads one process honestly. Where cycle time really goes, how many handoffs, and what has never been measured.
Takes a process from as-is to a proposed to-be, held beside the original so the two can be compared.
Acceptance criteria, gates and monitors, target scores. What good means for a step, set by the business owner rather than whoever builds it.
Shows the AI tools in your own setup, checks they are set up properly, and with your say-so adds them to your organisation's AI register.
Talk through your own work, find the real friction, check what already exists, and route it.
Checks the accelerator library first, tests the idea against your vision, scores it, submits it.
Connects the server and tells you what your account can see, including which organisation you landed in.
How the skills help
A Kowalah consultant,
inside your own Claude.
Your people are not AI consultants and should not have to be. The skills carry the method we would bring to the room, available to everyone in your organisation, in the Claude they already work in.
They start from what you already recorded
Your operating model holds the owners, the steps, the timings and the constraints. The skills read it before they ask a single question, so nobody gets re-interviewed about something the business already knows.
They bring the method, not a menu
A skill does not wait to be told how to run a diagnostic. It knows what to look at first, what to test it against, and when the answer is solid enough to act on. That sequence is what experience buys, and it runs the same way every time.
They reach everything your Claude reaches
Because they run inside your own Claude, the skills combine your operating model with whatever else you have connected: the documents, the email thread, the spreadsheet someone sent last week. The context a consultant would have to ask you for, they already have.
They tell you what your data does not say
Where a step has no owner or has never been timed, the skills say so rather than filling the gap. An unmeasured process that reads as a clean one is the failure mode that costs the most.
Who it is for
Four readers, one model.
Everyone in your organisation can read the whole operating model, whatever their role, and can propose a change to any process they can see. What you can edit directly depends on where you sit.
AI Operations Leads and internal FDEs
You own AI delivery inside the business and the map does not exist yet. Start here: install the plugin and build the operating model as you do discovery, one function at a time.
AI programme leads
You are accountable for AI across the organisation or a division. Where is the business constrained, is the work in flight aimed there, what happens next.
Process owners
You own a real business process. Where the time goes, whether it needs redesigning or automating, and how you know the AI is doing it right.
Everyone else
You have no formal role in the map. Talk through your own work, find where AI helps, and log what is worth doing.
The tools underneath
Twenty tools, scoped to you.
The skills are the judgement. These are what they call. Reads are scoped to your organisation so anyone can see the whole model. Writes are checked against your role and your position in the org tree, and where you cannot edit something directly the tool routes you to a proposal rather than refusing.
Read
Write and propose
Access and data
Scoped to the person asking.
The connector authenticates with OAuth and scopes every query to the organisations the signed-in user is an accepted member of. Writes are permission-checked against the caller's role and position in the org tree. Clients never see another client's data, and internal fields are stripped before anything reaches Claude.
