Find Agent Zero plugins that match a task, compare candidates and their requirements, and manage installation, updates, settings, activation, and removal. It also supports security scans and checks the resulting plugin state through framework management APIs.
Find useful Plugin Index matches; inspect, scan, install, update and manage Agent Zero plugins.
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
Use this skill to find useful existing plugins and manage installed ones. For building, changing code, review or contribution, load a0-create-plugin.
| Need | Read |

| Search the Plugin Index, compare candidates, recommend useful plugins | references/discovery.md |
| Security scan, install, update, config, enable/disable or remove | references/lifecycle.md |
Read references through skills_tool with action: "read_file", skill_name: "a0-manage-plugin", and the file path. API examples reuse the session/CSRF client in /a0/skills/a0-development/references/operate-agent-zero.md. Load a0-development before reading that reference through skills_tool; discover the correct live origin.
Start with the user's outcome and existing capabilities. Search the current Index by task vocabulary and synonyms, inspect plausible candidates, then recommend a small shortlist with reasons and requirements. Use the whole catalog for broad requests; do not mistake the first page of keyword matches for the best plugins.
Distinguish browsing the Index from running the model-based security scanner. Discovery does not install plugins, execute their code, or authorize scans of every match. Report advertised capabilities separately from verified behavior; include already-installed status and any external services, credentials or costs the candidate needs.
Use framework management APIs so hooks, caches and UI state stay consistent. Confirm the requested plugin and scope before changing it. Third-party plugins execute code in the Agent Zero environment: explain that risk and offer a security scan once before install, respecting an earlier scan choice. Do not turn an install or removal request into repeated confirmation prompts when the user has already specified the action and target.
Installation and removal must run the plugin's hooks.py lifecycle through these APIs. Never use execute.py or ask the user to click Execute for setup, dependency installation, required initialization, or uninstall cleanup. If a plugin requires such a step, treat it as a plugin defect and route the fix to a0-create-plugin; do not silently use the manual workaround.
Verify the API result and read back installed/config/toggle state. Preserve unrelated scoped overrides and local code changes. Do not use raw Git pulls or folder deletion as substitutes for normal lifecycle APIs.
For a broken plugin, first check its identity, installation, effective toggle/config and relevant error. If the failure is in plugin code, use the brief troubleshooting guidance in a0-create-plugin.

Create specialized Agent Zero profiles by defining their roles, working methods, and delegation criteria. The skill prepares configuration files and instructions, with optional custom tools, extensions, and model preset selection when needed.
Build, improve, review, or troubleshoot Agent Zero plugins for local use or community distribution. Follow plugin structure and installation rules, verify behavior in the target runtime, and prepare repository and Plugin Index contributions when requested.
Operate Agent Zero projects, chats, and tasks, or develop new tools, extensions, and API features. The skill guides work through existing APIs, relevant documentation, current source code, and checks appropriate to the change.
Automate web page tasks such as clicking, filling forms, uploading and downloading files, and taking screenshots. Work across tabs using a browser on the connected host machine or inside a Docker container.
Create, edit, and install extensions for Agent Zero Browser, including extensions from Chrome Web Store. It guides permission reviews and checks for suspicious behavior, with new extensions built as readable files that users can inspect.
Fill and submit web forms with dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, file uploads, and directly editable fields. Check unclear fields before acting, inspect visual states when needed, and verify the result after submission.
