Plugin System

The Plugin System transforms how you interact with AI characters by adding specialized capabilities and interactive features to your conversations. Plugins enhance character responses and create immersive experiences that go far beyond basic chat.

What Are Plugins?

Plugins are extensions that modify and enhance your conversations with AI characters. They work behind the scenes to:

• Shape Character Behavior - Guide how characters respond and interact
• Add Interactive Elements - Display dynamic content, status panels, and visual feedback
• Create Specialized Experiences - Enable roleplay scenarios, mood tracking, and themed interactions
• Enhance Immersion - Add context-aware features that make conversations feel more alive

How Plugins Work

Accessing Plugins

1. Open any character conversation
2. Look for the Plugins tab in the chat interface
3. Browse available plugins and their descriptions
4. Install and configure plugins to suit your preferences

Plugin Types

The system supports two main types of plugins:

Prompt Enhancement Plugins

These plugins work by influencing how characters think and respond:

• Add custom instructions to character behavior
• Guide conversation topics and themes
• Control response depth and detail level
• Shape personality expression

Interactive Tool Plugins

These plugins create visual, interactive elements in your conversations:

• Display character status and mood panels
• Show inventory systems for roleplay
• Generate dynamic content like live chat reactions
• Create themed visual experiences

Featured Plugins

Custom Prompt Injector

Conversation Guide

Purpose: Help characters actively guide conversations and suggest interesting topics

Configuration Options:

• Guidance Level: Choose how actively the character leads conversations (Passive, Moderate, Active)

Best for: Matching conversation style to your preferences

Live Chat Reactions

Purpose: Add livestream-style viewer reactions to dramatic or emotional conversation moments

How it works: During intense or entertaining conversation moments, this plugin generates spontaneous viewer comments that appear as a live chat overlay, creating a sense of audience engagement.

• Description: Explain what your plugin does (optional but recommended)
• Plugin Type: Select between Prompt Injection or Interactive Tool

Step 2: Configuration

For Prompt Plugins:

1. Write Your Template: Create the prompt text using variables like {{char}} for character name, {{user}} for your name
2. Add Variables: Define custom settings users can configure (text inputs, dropdowns, checkboxes)
3. Set Defaults: Provide sensible default values for all variables

For Tool Plugins:

1. Define Parameters: Specify what information the AI should provide to your tool
2. Create HTML Template: Design how the information should be displayed using {{parameterName}} syntax
3. Add CSS Styling: Customize the visual appearance (optional)

Step 3: Testing and Preview

• Use the Preview button to test your plugin with sample data
• Adjust character and user names to see how variables work
• Modify templates and settings until you're satisfied with the results

Template System Guide

Using Variables in Prompts

As {{char}}, you should {{behaviorStyle}} and always {{responsePattern}}.
When {{user}} asks about {{topicType}}, respond with {{detailLevel}} information.

HTML Templates for Tools

<div class="character-mood">
  <h3>{{char}}'s Current Mood</h3>
  <div class="mood-indicator">{{moodLevel}}</div>
  <p>{{moodDescription}}</p>
</div>

Adding Interactive Elements

• Use {{parameterName}} to display AI-provided data
