Agent Plugin categories

Plugins that build, inspect, or extend AI agents themselves: MCP server builders, skill and plugin authoring kits, memory and context management, prompt engineering, agent evaluation and observability.

Plugins that read existing code and judge it: code review, refactoring guidance, linting and static analysis, debugging assistance, performance profiling, and codebase auditing.

Plugins whose purpose is tests: generating unit, integration, or end-to-end tests, running test suites, coverage analysis, test-driven workflows, and browser or UI test automation.

Plugins for shipping and running software: CI/CD pipelines, containers and Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, deployment and release management, cloud provider operations, monitoring and incident response.

Plugins that work with stored data: SQL and NoSQL access, schema design and migrations, ORMs, query optimisation, data pipelines, warehousing, and analytics or business intelligence.

Plugins for defending software: vulnerability scanning, dependency and supply-chain auditing, secrets detection, authentication and authorisation, threat modelling, privacy and regulatory compliance.

Plugins that produce prose: API and code documentation, READMEs, changelogs, architecture decision records, technical writing assistance, style and editing guidance, translation.

Plugins for what users see: UI and UX design, design systems and tokens, CSS and styling, frontend frameworks and components, accessibility, animation, and design-to-code workflows.

Plugins that produce visual or audio work: game engines and game development, 3D modelling and animation, video generation and editing, audio and music production, and image creation.

Plugins that organise work rather than produce software: planning and task breakdown, project and issue management, note-taking and knowledge bases, meetings, scheduling, and personal workflow automation.

Plugins that go and find things: web search and browsing, scraping and data collection, retrieval over document sets, competitive and market research, fact-checking and source verification.

Plugins that connect an agent to a specific third-party product or protocol: GitHub and issue trackers, chat and email, calendars and CRMs, payments, storage, and general API clients.

Plugins whose purpose does not fit any category above, and plugins whose manifest describes too little to classify honestly.
