Plugins
Add tools, panels, and commands to your session by installing plugins from the marketplace.
Plugins extend your session with new panels, toolbar buttons, keyboard shortcuts, and commands — install one from the marketplace in a couple of clicks.
What plugins add
A plugin can show up in a few places once it is enabled:
- Panels open as new panes beside your terminals — a file browser, an event log, a status overlay.
- Toolbar buttons add quick actions, sometimes with a badge counter (for example, unread notifications).
- Keyboard shortcuts trigger a plugin action and appear next to taiku's own shortcuts in the command palette.
- Shell commands let a plugin react when you type a named command in the terminal.
Each plugin runs in its own sandbox and can only do what its listed permissions allow, so it never touches your other plugins or your browser data.
Install a plugin
- Open the plugin marketplace from the toolbar or the command palette.
- Browse the listings. Each one shows the name, author, what it does, and the permissions it asks for.
- Open a plugin to read its full details, then click Enable to add it to your session.
The plugin loads right away — its panels and buttons appear immediately, and it stays enabled across reloads on this device.
Manage your plugins
Open the same marketplace panel to see everything you have enabled. From there you can review a plugin's permissions, toggle it off, or remove it entirely. Removing a plugin takes its panels and buttons out of the session at once.
Some plugins can act on outside apps like GitHub, Linear, or Slack. Those need a one-time account connection before they work — see Connecting accounts.
Build your own
If you want to create a plugin instead of installing one, the developer guides walk through manifests, panels, permissions, and loading your work-in-progress straight from a URL.
