Extension Architecture

How Extensions Work

Every extension follows a consistent pattern:

Package Definition: package.json declares commands, preferences, and metadata
Command Handlers: TypeScript files in src/ export entry functions
API Routes: Files in src/api/ are auto-discovered as HTTP-like endpoints
Provider Pattern: Extensions with commandType: "provider" register capabilities that consumer extensions select

Command Key Format

All extensions use the format extensionName|commandName for targeting. For example:

chat_with_ai|chat — the main chat command
llm|open_ai — OpenAI LLM provider
gmail|send_email — Gmail send tool

Provider Selection

Many extensions use a provider pattern where you choose which backend to use:

chat_with_ai (consumer) → llm|open_ai (provider)
tts (consumer) → tts_providers|openai_tts_provider (provider)
translate (consumer) → translate_providers|deepl_translate_provider (provider)

Configure default providers in each extension’s settings, or let AI agents choose automatically.
