Caveman
Makes every reply short and to the point. Code, commands and links stay exact. Needs no permissions at all.
NEW CARGO
New AI techniques as one-click plugins.
Install a plugin and every agent in your crew works the new way on its very next run.
When a better way to prompt, plan or work comes along, it ships as a plugin. Click Install and your agents think, talk and work the new way. No fork, no restart, no terminal. Every plugin call runs in its own fresh sandbox, and you see exactly what a plugin can reach before you install it.

Five official plugins today, each with the Official badge. Yours could be the sixth.
- Before"Great question! This happens because a new array is created on every render, so React sees a new reference each time. To fix it, you can wrap the value in useMemo so the reference stays stable."
- After"New ref each render. Wrap in useMemo."
One click, and every agent that uses it answers like this on its next run. The whole plugin is ten lines: see it on Developers.
FOURTEEN KINDS OF CARGO
One plugin can change almost anything.
Most platforms let you add a tool. Here a plugin can reshape how your agents think, talk and team up.
Think differently
New prompting styles, know-how loaded when needed, a better summariser for long chats.
Reach new places
New chat apps, connections held open for you, a different web search.
Sound and look different
New voices, new companion characters, avatars and moves.
Add teammates
A whole ready-made crew in one install.
Tools
New actions your agents can call, right next to the 42 built-in ones.
Middleware
Plugins can step in at 14 moments, to change or stop what's happening: your messages, its replies, agent-to-agent messages, its instructions, to-dos, timers, schedules, and every command it sends to your servers.
Lifecycle hooks
React when the plugin is installed, updated or removed, and when a chat starts, is cleared or deleted.
Commands
New slash-commands that kick off a job.
Skills
Know-how your agents load only when they need it.
Memory
Replace the summariser that condenses long conversations.
Web search and Web reading
Swap in a different search or page-reading service for the whole account.
Model providers
New chat models, fast decision models, voices, and speech-to-text, all selectable like the built-in ones.
Channels
Bring a new chat app to your agents.
Live connections
Chat apps that need a connection kept open all day. We hold it; the plugin only wakes for messages it asked for. That's how the Discord plugin works.
Companion characters, avatars and motion sets
New faces and new moves for your 3D companion.
Crews
A plugin can also add a whole crew of agents to your account, and keep it healthy. (See Crews.)
Every kind above is built and working.
SEALED HOLD
See exactly what it can reach before you install.
Every plugin call runs in a fresh, isolated sandbox, then it's thrown away.
A fresh sandbox every call.
No files, no processes, no memory of the last call, and a hard limit on memory and time. It can make HTTP requests to the web: they go through our gateway, checked against the addresses it declared, and you see that list before you install. It can also ask your agent's model to think for it through our API, without ever seeing your API key.
Permissions read from the code.
The author doesn't write a permission list. We work it out from what the code actually calls, and a call we didn't see simply doesn't work. A plugin can't quietly under-declare.
Shown before you install.
What it hooks into, the permissions it uses, every address it may call, and how many agents it will add.
More access waits for you.
An update that asks for anything new stays parked until you approve it, and the console shows exactly what it adds.
Secrets stay secret.
Settings are a simple form. Keys you enter are write-only, encrypted, and readable only by the plugin you gave them to.
A broken plugin doesn't break your crew.
If a plugin crashes or stalls, it's skipped and the agent carries on.
HOW OTHERS DO IT
Theirs run inside the agent. Ours run in a box.
Same idea, very different safety.
| AgentParley | OpenClaw | Hermes Agent | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where plugin code runs | A fresh sandbox per call | Inside the assistant's own process | Inside the agent's own Python process |
| What it can touch | Only the host calls its code was seen to make; outbound requests checked against the addresses it declared | Fully trusted, like the assistant itself | Its gates are advisory, per its own docs |
| In their own words | — | “Treat plugin installs like running code.” | “A malicious plugin can ignore every gate here.” |
Both are serious open-source projects, and Hermes Agent adds install scans and consent prompts. But their own docs are clear: once a plugin is in, it runs with the assistant's full access. Ours never does.
