wick-plugins

A system for installing and managing wick plugins, which are standalone connector programs that wick runs separately from its main application.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install, update, verify, sign, and choose between plugins, built-in connector modules, and custom connectors.
Why use it?
It lets connectors be updated and distributed independently without rebuilding or restarting the core application.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wick-plugins scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Using wick plugins

A plugin is a connector shipped as a standalone binary. wick downloads it, verifies it, and runs it in its own process, talking over gRPC. Installing or updating one needs no core rebuild and no restart.

From the LLM's side a plugin connector is indistinguishable from a built-in one — same tool_id shape, same encrypted fields, same audit trail, same tag-based access control. The difference is purely packaging.

Choosing the right connector form

Connector module Custom connector Plugin
Lives in Go code compiled into wick A database row (admin UI) A separate binary
Runs In the wick process In the wick process Its own subprocess (gRPC)
Add / update Code change + redeploy Edit in UI, click Reload install / bump version
Versioned With the core With the database Independently

Reach for a plugin when the connector should release on its own schedule or be distributable through the marketplace. For something that ships inside the app, write a connector module. For a no-code definition, use a custom connector.

Installing

Plugins are managed from the app binary, not the dev CLI:

<app> plugin search             # browse the marketplace catalog
<app> plugin install slack      # download + verify + install by name
<app> plugin list               # installed, version, arch, signature, enabled
<app> plugin disable slack      # turn off without removing
<app> plugin enable slack
<app> plugin remove slack

Every install verifies before wiring in: the binary's sha256 must match its manifest, the OS/arch must match the host, and when a trusted key is configured the signature must check out. A hot-reload poller picks up any change within a few seconds — no restart.

You can install without the catalog too:

<app> plugin install ./my-connector/                          # a built {binary, plugin.json} dir
<app> plugin install https://example.com/foo-0.1.0-linux-arm64.zip

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

wick-plugins is a skill published in the GitHub repository yogasw/wick (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 1,262 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
