Overview

Plugins are add-on packs that extend what your Eigi knows how to do. Where a connector gives Eigi access to an app, a plugin gives it know-how: bundled skills, commands, and pre-configured tools built for a purpose — a project-management workflow, a content pipeline, a company-specific toolkit. Install one, and your Eigi immediately knows the workflow — no teaching required.

​
What’s Inside a Plugin

Skills

Step-by-step playbooks Eigi follows for specific tasks — the plugin’s know-how.

Commands

Slash commands you can trigger from chat to kick off the plugin’s workflows directly.

Connectors

Some plugins bring their own integrations, ready to authorize on install.

Sub-agents

Specialist helpers the plugin defines for its workflows.

​
Installing Plugins

1

Browse the catalog

The Plugins section lists available plugins. Search or browse by what you’re trying to do.
2

Preview before installing

Every plugin shows exactly what it contains — each skill, command, and connector — before you install. No surprises.
3

Install and use

One click installs it. The new abilities show up in chat immediately — ask Eigi, or type / to see the plugin’s commands.

​
Private Plugins via GitHub

Teams and companies can keep plugins in their own private GitHub repositories.
Link your GitHub account from the Plugins page. You approve access through GitHub’s own authorization screen.
Once connected, your private plugin repositories appear alongside the public catalog — install them the same way.
When the repository changes, you can pull the update from the same place. You’ll see what changed before it applies.

​
Staying in Control

  • Review first — a plugin’s full contents are visible before you enable it.
  • Enable/disable anytime — turn a plugin off without uninstalling; its abilities disappear from Eigi immediately.
  • Approvals still apply — plugin workflows follow the same permission rules as everything else Eigi does.
  • Remove cleanly — uninstalling removes the plugin’s skills, commands, and tools in one go.
Connectors give Eigi access; plugins give Eigi know-how. A great setup usually combines both — for example, a “content publishing” plugin paired with your Notion and X connectors.
