Plugins allow you to extend Symbiotic Code by hooking into various events and customizing behavior. You can create plugins to add new features, integrate with external services, or modify Symbiotic Code’s default behavior.

​
Use plugins

There are two ways to load plugins:

​
1. From local files

Place JavaScript or TypeScript files in the plugin directory.
  • .symbiotic/plugins/ - Project-level plugins
  • ~/.config/symbiotic/plugins/ - Global plugins
Files in these directories are automatically loaded at startup.

​
2. From npm

Specify npm packages in your config file.
symbiotic.json
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "plugin": ["@my-org/custom-plugin"]
}
Both regular and scoped npm packages are supported.

​
How plugins are installed

  • npm plugins are installed automatically using Bun at startup. Packages and their dependencies are cached in ~/.cache/symbioticnode_modules/.
  • Local plugins are loaded directly from the plugin directory. To use external packages, you must create a package.json within your config directory, or publish the plugin to npm and add it to your config.

​
Load order

Plugins are loaded from all sources and all hooks run in sequence. The load order is:
  1. Global config (~/.config/symbiotic.json)
  2. Project config (symbiotic.json)
  3. Global plugin directory (~/.config/symbiotic/plugins/)
  4. Project plugin directory (.symbiotic/plugins/)
Duplicate npm packages with the same name and version are loaded once. However, a local plugin and an npm plugin with similar names are both loaded separately.
