Install and manage plugins

Use canonical coordinates for marketplace installs.

Registry preview

The default public plugin registry is not live yet. Coordinate installs need a live registry or custom registry. Direct archives and local links are the fallback paths until the registry is published.

bash
# Requires a live plugin registry or configured custom registry.
glade plugins available
glade plugins install @glade/performance
glade plugins install @glade/orgpackage
glade plugins install @acme/quality@1.2.0

The short aliases performance and orgpackage resolve to @glade/performance and @glade/orgpackage. Registry installs appear by canonical coordinate in plugins list, plugins which, and plugins doctor. Linked development plugins without a catalog coordinate use their manifest name.

Find and inspect

bash
glade plugins available
glade plugins search
glade plugins search quality
glade plugins info @acme/quality
glade plugins list
glade plugins which performance
glade plugins which orgpackage
glade plugins doctor

available lists every plugin in the configured marketplace. Bare search lists the same catalog; add a query to filter it. which reports the installed plugin that owns a command root. doctor checks installed executables and manifests.

Remove and restore

bash
glade plugins remove @glade/performance
glade plugins lock
glade plugins restore

Lock files record canonical names, exact versions, platform, registry, and archive digest.

Local development

bash
go build -o ./glade-plugin-quality ./cmd/glade-plugin-quality
glade plugins link --exec ./glade-plugin-quality

Linked plugins are recorded in installed state. Glade does not copy the binary and does not delete it during removal.

Glade is local-first Apex tooling.
