LangBot Plugin Infra
Plugin SDK, CLI, Plugin Runtime and Box sandbox runtime for LangBot.
English / 简体中文
Overview
This repository is the shared infrastructure powering LangBot's plugin and
sandbox subsystems. It is published to PyPI as the single
langbot-plugin package and ships
three things:
- Plugin SDK & CLI (
lbp) — Python APIs, base classes and thelbpcommand for scaffolding, building, debugging and publishing plugins. - Plugin Runtime (
lbp rt) — the host process that discovers, installs and runs plugins, bridging them to LangBot over stdio or WebSocket. - Box Runtime (
lbp box) — the code-sandbox service backing LangBot's Box subsystem, executing untrusted code via Docker / nsjail / E2B backends. An explicit, non-sandboxedhostbackend is available for trusted local development only.
LangBot depends on this package as the pinned langbot-plugin==<x.y.z> in its
pyproject.toml; the canonical version lives in this repo's pyproject.toml.
The Runtime component (
src/langbot_plugin/runtime/) is licensed separately under AGPL; everything else in this repository is Apache 2.0. Seesrc/langbot_plugin/runtime/README.md.
Install
pip install langbot-plugin

Component types
Plugins extend LangBot through six component types, scaffolded with
lbp comp <Type>:
- Command — user-triggered actions (e.g.
!weather tokyo) - Tool — LLM-callable functions for AI agents
- EventListener — handlers for message-pipeline events
- KnowledgeEngine — custom knowledge-base retrieval for RAG
- Parser — custom message / content parsing
- Page — custom web page embedded in the LangBot admin panel
Runner Runtime
The SDK provides Runner component definitions, protocol entities, runtime
dispatch, run-scoped Host API helpers, and low-level daemon relay primitives
used by runner/plugin packages that need an outbound user-side runtime process.
This includes run-scoped pull APIs on RunnerAPIProxy (history, events, state,
run ledger) and steering_pull for absorbing follow-up user input into an
active run when the runner declares capabilities.steering in its manifest.
The SDK does not provide a managed, generic remote Runner product: external
harness execution policy, process launch details, authentication, workspace
selection, and provider-specific behavior belong to the runner/plugin package or
a deployment-owned remote daemon or managed agent platform.
