Commands

crocbot plugins enable <id>
crocbot plugins disable <id>
crocbot plugins doctor
crocbot plugins update <id>
crocbot plugins update --all

Bundled plugins ship with crocbot but start disabled. Use plugins enable to activate them.

All plugins must ship a crocbot.plugin.json file with an inline JSON Schema (configSchema, even if empty). Missing/invalid manifests or schemas prevent the plugin from loading and fail config validation.

Install

crocbot plugins install <path-or-spec>

Security note: treat plugin installs like running code. Prefer pinned versions.

Supported archives: .zip, .tgz, .tar.gz, .tar.

Use --link to avoid copying a local directory (adds to plugins.load.paths):

crocbot plugins install -l ./my-plugin

Update

crocbot plugins update <id>
crocbot plugins update --all
crocbot plugins update <id> --dry-run

Updates only apply to plugins installed from npm (tracked in plugins.installs).
