Install a plugin

A plugin is a small bundle of skills someone has packaged for a particular kind of work — reading search results, tuning an index, checking a kind of document — together with the background notes those skills lean on. You install it in one step and its skills become tools Celeris can use, the same as any skill you grew yourself.

Plugins come with the Celeris desktop app, with nothing to switch on. The Mac App Store version does not include them.

Install one from the catalog​

Open Settings → Skills and choose Add plugin. The catalog lists the plugins available to you: the public ones need no account at all, and if you are signed in to a workspace, that workspace's own plugins appear too.

Pick a plugin and install it. Celeris downloads the plugin as a single verified archive and checks the bytes against the published fingerprint before it unpacks anything. You do not need access to the repository the plugin was built in — a plugin can be built privately and still install for anyone. If the download cannot be verified, the install stops rather than falling back to anything less safe.

Use it, and see what you installed​

Once a plugin is installed, its skills are listed alongside your own. Ask Celeris to list its skills and you will see the plugin's skills grouped under the plugin's name; open one and you are reading the exact instructions the plugin shipped. There is nothing hidden: a plugin is files you can read, the same as any skill.

From there you just work. Ask the kind of question the plugin is for, and Celeris follows the plugin's steps instead of improvising. The plugin's background notes are in reach for those skills and nowhere else.

A plugin adds know-how, never permission​

A plugin can teach Celeris how to do something and give it new vocabulary for a domain. It cannot widen what Celeris is allowed to do. Every tool a plugin's skill reaches for is approved by the same rules as everything else, and an installed plugin never turns a prompt into an automatic yes. See Approvals & safety.

If a plugin wants to lean on a connector — a search service, say — it names it, and Celeris offers to install that connector through the usual browser sign-in. A plugin never carries a credential of its own.

Keeping and removing plugins​

An installed plugin updates when its author publishes a new version, and you can remove a plugin at any time from the same Settings → Skills page. Removing a plugin takes its skills and notes with it and affects nothing else.
