🔌 Plugin System

Built-in Plugins

Plugin Name	Class	Description
file:soul	SoulPlugin	Agent personality — loads soul.md
file:agent_identity	AgentIdentityPlugin	Agent self-awareness — loads agent.md
file:plan	PlanPlugin	Complex task planning with mandatory rules
file:skills	ClaudeSkillsPlugin	Loads Claude Code skills from SKILL.md
file:context	ContextPlugin	Context sharing across turns
file:heartbeat	HeartbeatPlugin	Real-time agent status monitoring
file:log	LogPlugin	Logs tool/agent lifecycle events
file:edit_file	EditFilePlugin	File editing operations

External Plugins

Plugin	Description
py-code-agent-git	Git status and operations
py-code-agent-search	Web search via DuckDuckGo
py-code-agent-mcp-gateway	MCP server connections (10,000+ tools)
py-code-agent-a2a-gateway	Agent-to-agent communication (A2A v0.3.0)
py-code-agent-omo	OMO mode: subagent dispatch, intent gate, category routing
py-code-agent-grep	Code search engine (text + AST)
py-code-agent-plan-orchestrator	Advanced task orchestration

Plugin Directory Structure

Plugins are loaded from four tiers (first match wins).

Tier	Directory	Purpose
Built-in	<repo>/plugins/builtin/	Shipped with package
Local	./.py-code-agent/plugins/	Project-specific
Global	~/.config/py-code-agent/plugins/	User-wide
Entry Points	PyPI packages	Community plugins

Plugin Self-Healing

5 layers of auto-repair.

Layer	Scenario	Fix
1	Hook method crashes	Wrap with try/except at runtime
2	Plugin missing hook methods	Inject no-op stubs
3	Import errors (missing packages)	pip install then retry
4	Attribute errors	Inject missing attributes
5	Tool execute() crashes	AST-patch source file + reload

CLI Plugin Management

# List all available plugins
py-code-agent plugin available

# Enable / Disable
py-code-agent plugin enable file:soul
py-code-agent plugin disable file:search

# Search & Install
py-code-agent plugin search web-search
py-code-agent plugin install py-code-agent-some-plugin
py-code-agent plugin install git+https://github.com/user/repo.git

# List / Uninstall
py-code-agent plugin list
py-code-agent plugin uninstall py-code-agent-some-plugin

# Scaffold new plugin
py-code-agent plugin init my-awesome-plugin

🧠 ReAct Mode

When react.enabled: true, the agent follows a Thought → Action → Observation loop:

1. Thought: The LLM reasons about what to do next
2. Action: The LLM calls a tool (or provides a final answer)
3. Observation: The tool result is fed back as context
4. Repeat until task_done is called or max turns reached

This enables autonomous coding — the agent can write files, run tests, fix errors, and iterate until the task is complete.

🌐 Channel System

Channels provide pluggable transport for agent communication.

CLI Channel

Interactive terminal via py-code-agent chat.

WebSocket Channel

py-code-agent channel websocket --port 8080 --api-key your-secret-key

Message format:

{ "type": "message", "content": "Hello, agent!" }

Response:

{ "type": "response", "content": "Hello! How can I help?", "status": "done" }

Custom Channels

Implement BaseChannel interface:

• get_channel_prompt() — context injection
• get_channel_tools() — channel-specific tools
• receive() — async message iterator
• send(response) — send responses

🧩 Skills System

Skills are reusable workflows stored in SKILL.md files, compatible with Claude Code.

Discovery paths (highest priority first):

1. ./.py-code-agent/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
2. ~/.config/py-code-agent/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
3. ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md

# List available skills
> list_skills

# Get skill content
> get_skill(name="frontend-design")
