Excerpt

Cowork Plugin Customization

Customize a plugin for a specific organization — either by setting up a generic plugin template for the first time, or by tweaking and refining an already-configured plugin.

Finding the plugin: To find the plugin's source files, run find mnt/.local-plugins mnt/.plugins -type d -name "*<plugin-name>*" to locate the plugin directory, then read its files to understand its structure before making changes. If you cannot find the plugin directory, the user is likely running this conversation in a remote container. Abort and let them know: "Customizing plugins is currently only available in the desktop app's Cowork mode."

Determining the Customization Mode
