The default plugin composition
| Plugin | Why it is included |
|---|---|
| Codex Auth | Connect existing accounts to models, search, and images |
| Better Sidebar | Use files, terminals, previews, differences, tasks, and plugin pages in the primary workbench |
| Context Doctor | Understand context costs, duplicates, and shadowed skills |
| Oil Creator | Organize local video and article production, including reviewed publishing drafts |
| Plugin Marketplace | Discover and assess extensions before installing |
| Harbor Evolution | Ground diagnosis and controlled improvement in task evidence |
These are independent external projects selected by YourBuddy, not the official default DeepSeek Harness distribution. Harbor Self Evolving is an independent project developed extensively by the Y8 maintainer. Preinstallation does not establish login, service availability, or activation of every optional feature.
First-party and upstream contributions
YourBuddy’s Personal Workbench supplies branding, networking, updates, and restart settings. The in-repository Codex Subagent provider supplies focused delegation, distinct from Codex Auth’s main-model connection. Harbor’s Skill and Python Adapter are companion components, not additional products to install.
Updates and authority
Bundled snapshots update with YourBuddy releases. User-added packages are maintained separately. A marketplace topic or star count is not security review; installed code has Host authority. Consult each plugin’s prerequisites and product notices.
Next step
An installed capability may still need an account, working directory, or evaluation environment. Read its prerequisites first. When the default combination is insufficient, use Extend Y8 to choose an existing extension, a Skill, or plugin development.
