Plugins
Vyre IDE is compatible with VS Code extensions and supports its own native plugin system for deeper integrations. Extend your editor with themes, language support, debuggers, and AI-enhanced tools.
Installing plugins
Open the Plugin Marketplace
Click the Extensions icon in the sidebar (or press Cmd+Shift+X) to open the Plugin Marketplace.
Search and install
Search for any plugin by name or category. Click "Install" to add it to your editor. Most plugins activate immediately without requiring a restart.
Configure plugin settings
After installation, access plugin settings from Settings → Extensions → [Plugin Name] or by clicking the gear icon next to the installed plugin.
Managing plugins
Enable / Disable
Toggle plugins on and off per-workspace or globally. Disable plugins you don't need for a project to keep the editor lightweight.
Auto-update
Plugins update automatically by default. Pin to a specific version in Settings if you need stability.
Sync plugins
With Settings Sync enabled, your plugins are synced across all your Vyre installations automatically.
VS Code extensions
Vyre IDE is built on the same extension API as VS Code. Most VS Code extensions work in Vyre with no modification required.
Extensions published to the Open VSX Registry (open-vsx.org) are available directly in the Vyre Plugin Marketplace. VS Code Marketplace extensions require a VSIX download.
Installing from VSIX
To install a VS Code extension not in the Open VSX registry:
- Download the
.vsixfile from the VS Code Marketplace. - In Vyre, open the Command Palette (
Cmd+Shift+P). - Run "Extensions: Install from VSIX..."
- Select the downloaded
.vsixfile.
Building plugins
Build native Vyre plugins using the Vyre Plugin SDK:
import { VyrePlugin, registerCommand, showNotification } from '@vyre/plugin-sdk';
export default class MyPlugin extends VyrePlugin {
activate() {
registerCommand('my-plugin.hello', () => {
showNotification('Hello from My Plugin!');
});
}
deactivate() {
// cleanup
}
}Agent-aware plugins
Vyre plugins can integrate with the Agent system. Your plugin can:
- Register custom tools that Agent can call
- Inject context into agent sessions
- Listen to agent events and react to them
See the Plugin SDK documentation for the full Agent API.
Publishing to the marketplace
Publish your plugin to the Vyre Plugin Marketplace at plugins.vyre.dev. You'll need a Vyre developer account and a signed plugin manifest. The review process takes 1–3 business days.
