From 0838742623f0b4ae382933339f8701c301841abe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: technical-writer Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2026 09:55:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] docs(plugins+diagram): per-workspace plugins as service proxies; Marketplace as roadmap MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Per CTO direction: surface that plugins let a workspace install services (LLM, voice, video, search, …) directly — no external site to configure — and that third-party devs will publish/sell them on a marketplace. Represented honestly (the docs already say the marketplace is 'Future' and MCP-server shape is expanding): - platform-architecture.svg: added a 'PLUGINS — install capabilities & services per workspace' band. Capabilities (skills/hooks/slash-commands/MCP tools) and the LLM service proxy are marked LIVE; voice/video/search are shown as the service-proxy direction; the Molecule Marketplace pill is explicitly dashed + 'roadmap'. Canvas extended to fit. - plugins.mdx: new 'Service proxies — bring a service into a workspace' section (MCP-wrap foundation, LLM proxy as the shipping example, per-workspace install) + a roadmap Callout for the marketplace that matches the existing 'does not yet ship a hosted plugin marketplace' framing. Rendered + visually QA'd via headless Chrome + Inter. Build green.
