In its v0.1 preview announcement, models, tools, sessions and even the loop controlling the agent's work are described as plugins. This gives developers separate components to combine or extend when building an agent, rather than treating its runtime as one fixed package.
The primary repository describes an everything-is-a-plugin architecture and MIT licensing. The supported contribution is a modular foundation for experimenting with agent behavior; the announcement supplies no measured improvement in task success.
