Extensibility

Current extension points and what’s planned next.


Extensibility

Autopilot already exposes a few practical ways to extend it, even before a formal plugin system exists.

Current Extension Points

  • JSON output from commands like status, doctor, and insights.
  • Config-driven behavior in .autopilotrc.json.
  • Command chaining through scripts, CI jobs, and Git hooks.
  • Exportable analytics data in CSV or JSON.

Beyond Git Automation

You can already use Autopilot as part of a larger workflow:

  • Pair it with CI checks.
  • Feed exported stats into dashboards.
  • Wrap commands in your own shell scripts.
  • Use the docs site as a source of command references for tools and bots.

Plugin System

A formal plugin system is a roadmap item rather than a shipped feature.

If you want to experiment today, the safest path is to build around:

  • Shell scripts.
  • JSON outputs.
  • Custom config files.
  • Git hooks.

Future Direction

Likely areas for future extensibility include:

  • Command plugins.
  • Custom notifications.
  • External dashboard integrations.
  • Additional AI provider adapters.
