Install the plugin
Everything OSMM ships as one Claude plugin: 18 builder skills, the canonical JSON Schemas they validate against, and the worked examples. Two minutes in Claude Cowork, or two commands in Claude Code.
What you get
One builder per object — Context, Work Product, Measurement, Learning, and the Creative Brief composer. Trigger-rich, so a plain-English request invokes the right one.
Every object validates against its schema, so what a builder writes is well-formed and portable — plain files you own, in an open standard.
A complete B2C library and a parallel B2B library, built from public sources, so you can read real objects before building your own.
Versioned under semver. You get a new release when maintainers ship one — not on every commit — so the standard stays stable underneath you.
In Claude Cowork (the app)
Most marketers are in Claude Cowork. Cowork installs plugins through its interface:
open-semantic-marketing-model/osmm — and confirm.The plugin is active in your next conversation. Updates are handled for you — Cowork syncs the marketplace when a new version is released.
An admin can add OSMM once for the whole organization under Organization settings → Plugins → Add plugin → GitHub, using the same open-semantic-marketing-model/osmm repository. Members get it without adding the marketplace themselves.
In Claude Code (the CLI)
The first registers this repository as a plugin marketplace; the second installs the plugin.
/plugin marketplace add open-semantic-marketing-model/osmm /plugin install osmm@osmm
Run /reload-plugins (or restart Claude Code) to activate it in the current session. Prefer a menu? Run /plugin and use the Marketplaces and Discover tabs to do the same thing interactively.
To update later:
/plugin marketplace update osmm /plugin update osmm
Your first object, in five minutes
You never write these files by hand. You hand Claude a source document, and a builder writes the object. Start with Business Context — it's the foundation everything else references.
The one rule that makes this work: build Context before Work Product. Context objects (Business, Brand, Product, Persona, Audience) are the durable layer everything else points at. Five Context objects is a realistic, high-value first project.
Questions
Do I need to build all 18 objects? No. Most teams build five Context objects and stop — that's where most of the leverage is. Add work-product objects when a real campaign needs them.
Do I need to know JSON? No. You need to be able to read a structured document and tell whether it's right about your business.
Does it replace my MarTech stack? No. OSMM is the decision layer that sits above it — the structured brief your tools and agents read from.
