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, andinsights. - 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.
