Agent Plugins

Plugins are the bridge between your coding agent and Overlord. Install them once and Overlord can launch tickets through that agent, stream updates back, and record the delivery.

Step 1 — Install the packaged plugins from Overlord

The desktop app and the CLI both ship the Overlord-managed connector bundles. In the desktop app, open Settings → CLI & Local Agents, then use the Agent plugins section to prepare the plugins you want. If you prefer the CLI, use ovld setup claude or ovld setup codex.

Select the agents you want, then click Prepare all agent plugins. Overlord writes the local connector files for each selected agent and keeps them in sync when you rerun this step after an update.

Step 2 — Register the plugin in your agent

Once the plugin files exist on disk, tell your agent where to find them. Pick the tab that matches your setup.

Keeping plugins up to date

When the Overlord desktop app updates, rerun the prepare step in Settings → CLI & Local Agents. If you manage your setup from the terminal, rerun ovld setup claude or ovld setup codex instead.
