Plugins¶

Purpose¶

This guide explains how to install, inspect, and remove plugins safely. It exists to prevent partial installs and registry inconsistencies by making the lifecycle steps explicit.

Scope¶

It covers install, list, info, and uninstall workflows. It does not teach plugin authoring; use the reference and concept docs for lifecycle guarantees.

Installation¶

Install a plugin by pointing to its package or local path. Installation validates metadata before activation so failures are caught early.

bijux plugin install ./my_plugin

Listing and Inspecting¶

List all installed plugins to confirm registry state, then request detailed information for a specific plugin.

bijux plugin list
bijux plugin info my_plugin

Removal¶

Uninstall removes the plugin and updates the registry in a single, consistent operation.

bijux plugin uninstall my_plugin

Why This Matters¶

Plugin state must remain consistent with the filesystem. These commands are designed to keep the registry and disk in sync, even when failures occur.
