<Note>

</Note>

The Marketplace is the official distribution channel for writing plugins. Each plugin may contain Rules, Workflows, Skills, or a combination of all three — designed for a specific writing scenario, such as a "romance continuation assistant" or a "chapter review workflow." No manual configuration needed; once installed, follow the plugin's documentation to start using it.

## Opening the Marketplace

Click the **Marketplace icon** at the top of the SoloEnt Agent panel to open the Plugin Marketplace. You can browse in two ways:

* Search by keyword using the search bar
* Use the language filter in the top-right corner to find plugins suited for a specific language

Click a plugin to open its detail page. Each plugin detail shows:

* **Name and summary**: a sentence or two describing what problem this plugin solves
* **Installs**: how many users have installed this plugin
* **Usage**: how to invoke or trigger the plugin
* **Contents**: what combination of Rules, Workflows, and Skills it includes
* **Core rules**: a quick overview of the plugin's underlying logic
* **Version**: the currently available version number

## Installing a plugin

<Warning>
  You must have a project open before installing. Plugins install into the currently active project by default, not your global directory.
</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your project">
    Before installing any plugin, open the writing project you want to use it in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a plugin">
    Browse or search the Marketplace, then click a plugin card to read its full documentation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Install">
    Click the **Install** button on the plugin detail page. Once complete, the plugin appears in the **Installed** tab.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Verifying the installation

After installation, check the following locations to confirm the files were written successfully:

| Content type | Where to look               |
| ------------ | --------------------------- |
| Rule         | Agent panel → Rules tab     |
| Workflow     | Agent panel → Workflows tab |
| Skill        | Agent panel → Skills tab    |

For combined plugins, files will appear in multiple locations.

## Using a plugin

Each plugin's detail page includes usage instructions covering:

* **How to trigger it**: how to invoke the included Workflows or Skills
* **Prerequisites**: what you need to have ready before using (for example, an open chapter file)
* **Expected output**: what the plugin produces when it runs

Open the Agent panel and follow the trigger instructions in the documentation.

* **Rule** takes effect automatically after installation — no manual invocation needed
* **Workflow** is triggered using the corresponding command
* **Skill** activates automatically based on context

<Tip>
  After installing, read the plugin's full documentation before using it.
</Tip>

## Coming in future versions

A future release will allow users to upload their own plugins, making it possible to share the Rules, Workflows, and Skills you've refined with other writers.
