Plugins

Plugins load global plugins for every project, manage them from Settings → Extensions → Plugins.

What a plugin is for

A plugin packages a set of capabilities (skills, agents, and other extensions) into one installable unit, instead of you recreating each piece by hand. Install a plugin once and everything it bundles becomes available across every project, the same way a built-in skill is.

Reach for a plugin when you want a whole workflow someone else already built (a team's shared conventions, a vendor's integration, a common toolkit) rather than assembling the equivalent yourself from individual skills.

Installing a plugin

Use Add plugin from Settings → Extensions → Plugins to install one. Once installed, it appears in the Installed Plugins list; a fresh account starts with none installed.

If you'd rather manage your plugin configuration as a file directly, use Edit in JSON file instead of the install dialog, useful if you're pasting in a config someone shared with you, or scripting the same setup across machines.
