Plugins

Plugins extend Proliferate with tools, connectors, and custom capabilities.

Use plugins when an agent needs more than repository files and terminal access. A plugin can connect an agent to external context, an internal system, or a custom workflow.

Pre-approved and custom plugins

Proliferate supports two broad categories:

• Pre-approved plugins: common connectors and tools that are ready to enable.
• Custom plugins: team-specific tools, workflows, or integrations.

Enable plugins from sources you trust and keep their access scoped to the work they need to do.

Cowork and coding agents

Plugins are safest when they start in Cowork, where the thread is explicitly about planning, artifacts, coordination, or external context.

You can also make plugins available to coding agents when a repository workflow needs them. Be deliberate: a coding agent with extra tools can touch more systems, so permissions and review matter more.

Common uses

Plugins can help with:

• Reading product specs or docs.
• Pulling issue or support context.
• Looking up design, analytics, or customer feedback.
• Creating artifacts.
• Updating external systems after review.
• Giving automations access to approved context.

Only enable plugins from sources you trust.
