Customize Octo
Extensions
Extensions bundle tools, skills and agents. Switch them on or off, and see why one is unavailable.
An extension is a bundle of tools, skills and agents. OctoPress's own features are extensions, and other plugins can add more.
Open Settings → Extensions. The table shows:
- Extension: name, description and id.
- Source:
core,Pro, orpluginfor extensions from other plugins. - Resources: how many tools, skills and agents it adds, for example
12 tools / 1 skills / 1 agents. - Status: a switch and one of these labels:
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Enabled / Disabled | You can switch it. |
| Always on | Required by OctoPress. It cannot be switched off. |
| Unavailable | A requirement is missing. The reason is shown under the label. |
Click Save after changing switches.

Good to know#
- Switching an extension off removes its tools, skills and agents from what chat offers.
- Turning something off here is the broadest switch. Use Tool access for single tools and Agents for per-agent control.
- Developers can add extensions with the
octopress_extensionsfilter. See the developer guidedocs/extensions.mdin the plugin repository.
