Plugins And Skills

Status: beta.

Regent uses plugins and skills to make local agent work repeatable.

Plugins

Plugins make Regent tools visible to an agent runtime.

regents plugin install --runtime hermes
regents plugin install --runtime openclaw
regents plugin install --runtime auto

Use auto for a machine that may run either Hermes or OpenClaw.

Check setup with:

regents plugin status --runtime auto
regents plugin doctor --runtime auto

Skills are written guidance that agents can load and follow. Regents CLI ships skills for the main Regent paths:

Install the recommended skills with:

regents setup skills

Use project-local installation when the skills should be copied into the current repository:

regents setup skills --project

regents plugin install --runtime ... writes runtime tools for Hermes or OpenClaw.

regents setup --runtime ... reports readiness. It does not install the runtime plugin.
