Plugin Ecosystem
Philosophy
- Plugins are capsules with dedicated sandboxes and 10 MB storage quotas.
- Manifests declare metadata, entry points, and permissions;
pnpm utils:publishdistributes them. - CoreBox aggregates plugin commands for search, shortcuts, and workflows.
Types
| Type | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Functional | UI, events, or services | Task capture, translation, scripts |
| Widget | Lives in workspace or notification center | Dashboards, timers, snapshots |
| Workflow | API-only | Batch operations, automation chains |

market. - Filter by tags, rating, or search; click Add to install.

- Sensitive permissions trigger consent sheets and runtime prompts.
- Over-budget plugins are paused automatically.
