What are plugins?

A plugin is a ready-made kit for one kind of work, such as meetings or a support inbox. It adds a few skills at once and helps you set up the apps, pages and tasks around them.

A plugin is a ready-made kit for one kind of work. For example, the Meetings plugin helps you prepare for meetings, write recaps and keep track of action items.

A plugin can hold:

  • Skills. The heart of the plugin. They work exactly like any other skill: you choose one with / in a chat, or Bluedeer picks one when your message clearly fits. See What are skills?
  • Apps. The apps its skills work with, such as Gmail or Google Calendar, each with a Connect button.
  • Suggested settings. Stricter permission settings for those apps, such as "Ask first before changing calendar events". They can only make Bluedeer ask more.
  • Page templates. Live pages you can create in one step, such as Meeting prep.
  • Task recipes. Scheduled tasks you can set up, such as a morning brief of today's meetings.
  • Starter prompts. Example requests that start a chat with the plugin.
  • Files. Reference material its skills can read, such as a reply tone guide.

Plugins you upload can also carry sub-agents made for Claude. Bluedeer keeps them with the plugin as Saved for later — not used yet, because Bluedeer doesn't use sub-agents yet.

What a plugin never does by itself

Adding a plugin turns its skills on. It does not sign in to any app, create any page or schedule any task. You do each of those yourself from the plugin's page. Every app still asks you the first time it changes something, exactly as before.

A plugin has no instructions that run in every chat. Only its skills reach the AI, and only when they are used.

Where plugins live

Plugins are in Customization → Plugins, for the workspace you have selected.

  • Discover shows plugins you have not added yet: plugins by Bluedeer and plugins people shared in this workspace.
  • Yours shows the plugins you added or made here, each with an on/off switch.

Plugins need a paid plan. On the Free plan you can look through them, but adding and trying them is disabled with the note Needs a paid plan.
