How do I install the Brand Build Skills library?

In Claude Code, add the marketplace using '/plugin marketplace add rampstackco/claude-skills' then install the desired plugin. For example, '/plugin install rampstack-skills@rampstack' for the full catalog, or use curated subsets like 'rampstack-starter@rampstack', 'rampstack-seo@rampstack', or 'rampstack-pm@rampstack'.
