User Plugins

User plugins are Cordis plugins running inside Obsidian (loaded by Harness Like) that extend commands, tools, panels and more.

Two ways to get one

• Create in conversation (recommended, zero-code): in Create Mode, let the agent build, load and open it — see Creating Plugins in Conversation;
• Manually: copy a plugin folder to .obsidian/harness-like-plugins/<id>/ in your vault (a package.json + a compiled main.js).

Authorization & loading

Plugin Manager (top-right "Plugin Manager" button in the chat header):

• Authorize & Load: single-check = this version only; double-check = trust future versions;
• While running: Open Panel / Reload / Stop / Delete;
• Grants can be reviewed/revoked in Settings → Plugin Grants.

Using sub-plugin commands

Commands registered by sub-plugins appear in the palette as Harness Like: command (sub-plugin-id) (e.g. Harness Like: Open panel (folder-stats)) — press Ctrl/Cmd+P and search "Harness Like", or just ask the agent to run it.

Backup & migration

A sub-plugin is just the files under .obsidian/harness-like-plugins/<id>/ (package.json + main.js). Backup/migrate = copy the folder:

1. Copy .obsidian/harness-like-plugins/ (or a single sub-plugin folder) to the same location in the new vault;
2. Open the Plugin Manager there → "Authorize & Load" (one-time re-authorization).

Security

• Plugins only execute local files under .obsidian/harness-like-plugins/; nothing is downloaded or executed remotely;
• Plugin writes still go through the approval chain — the security model cannot be bypassed.
