Extensions overview

What extensions and packs are, and how Multilo's VS Code-grade extension runtime works.

Like a code editor, Multilo is extensible. Extensions and packs add new agents, editors, viewers, and integrations on top of the core app — so the platform grows with what researchers need. To teach the AI reusable expertise rather than add a software surface, see skills.

Extensions & packs

First-party packs are the bundles Multilo builds and maintains. Community extensions are published by others. Both install the same way and run in the same sandboxed runtime. See first-party packs.

The extension runtime

Extensions run against a VS Code-grade runtime with a real multilo API: they can contribute commands, views, custom editors, file types, and more, and talk to the AI and editor through stable, permissioned interfaces — inside an isolated, sandboxed runtime.

Permissions & trust

Extensions declare the permissions they need, and capabilities are gated by those permissions plus a verified-trust check. You see what an extension can do before it runs. See installing extensions.

Safe by construction

The sandbox + permission model means an extension can extend the app without quietly reaching into your files or your account.
