Installing items

The Kodik Marketplace lets you install several types of extensions: full plugins, individual components (skills, commands, rules), MCP servers, and project templates. Templates use a special scaffolding flow rather than a simple file copy.

Installing a plugin

Section titled “Installing a plugin”

A plugin is an extension bundle that can include MCP servers, skills, commands, rules, hooks, and sub-agent profiles in any combination. Installation is a single click: open the Plugins tab, find the plugin you want, and press Install.

Kodik copies the plugin’s contents into the plugins directory and updates the registry. See Plugins & Marketplace for details on how plugins are structured.

Install scope

Section titled “Install scope”

Plugins and individual components (skills, commands, rules) can be installed in two scopes:

ScopeLocationAvailability
Global~/Documents/Kodik/...Available in all workspaces
Workspace.kodik/ inside the project folderAvailable only in the current project

Global installation suits general-purpose tools. Workspace installation is best for components specific to a project or team.

Installing individual components

Section titled “Installing individual components”

Beyond full plugins, you can install individual items from the dedicated Marketplace tabs:

  • Skills — from the “Skills” tab; the file is written to ~/Documents/Kodik/skills/ (global) or .kodik/skills/ (workspace).
  • Commands — from the “Commands” tab; written to ~/Documents/Kodik/commands/ or .kodik/commands/.
  • Rules — from the “Rules” tab; written to the rules/ subdirectory in the same pattern.

Installing a template

Section titled “Installing a template”

Templates work differently: instead of copying files, Kodik runs a guided scaffolding flow through the /install-template slash command in the chat. The agent clarifies the target location and runs initial setup steps. See Templates for details.
