DotNetAgents Public Plugins

This repository contains optional integration packages for the public DotNetAgents platform.

DotNetAgents core gives you the agent runtime: hosting, workflows, tools, protocols, model routing, governance, observability, memory, and agent patterns. This repository extends that core into the systems agents need to touch: databases, vector stores, messaging buses, browser automation, user interfaces, media generation, computer-use surfaces, storage, and framework interop.

Use this repository when your agent needs to leave the core runtime and operate against real infrastructure.

These public plugins are the extension surface. Premium packages use the same contracts for deeper enterprise adapters, managed governance, lab/evaluation packs, and private customer integrations without exposing premium code here.

What Lives Here

Area	Packages
Messaging	Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, and SignalR agent messaging adapters
Storage	artifact storage and task-knowledge stores for PostgreSQL and SQL Server
Vector stores	Chroma, Pinecone, PostgreSQL, Qdrant, Weaviate, and conformance helpers
Databases	database abstractions, dialects, validation, analysis, security, orchestration, and tooling
Browser and computer use	browser tools, Playwright, vision, Windows computer-use, and code-action packages
UI	Blazor, Avalonia, and shared UI core packages for agent-facing tools
Multimodal and media	OpenAI multimodal adapters and media-generation adapter packages
Interop	Microsoft Agent Framework interop and related bridge packages

The packages are versioned with the public DotNetAgents package train.

How This Fits With DotNetAgents

• Start with dotnetagents when you need the runtime and agent patterns.
• Add dotnetagents-plugins when the runtime needs production integrations.
• Use dotnetagents-examples when you want runnable starter applications.

Documentation

Install

Packages are currently preview packages targeting .NET 10. Install only the adapters you need:

dotnet add package DotNetAgents.VectorStores.PostgreSQL --version 1.0.0-preview.1
dotnet add package DotNetAgents.Agents.Messaging.Redis --version 1.0.0-preview.1
dotnet add package DotNetAgents.Ui.Blazor --version 1.0.0-preview.1

Use package versions that match the core DotNetAgents package train.

Public Core Boundary

This repository is part of the public open-core surface. It should not contain private hosted-service implementation, private infrastructure configuration, customer code, secrets, proprietary prompts, or internal operations runbooks.

Premium or private systems may add managed services, commercial adapters, enterprise governance packs, and hosted operations on top of these packages. The public plugins remain useful without those private systems.

Roadmap themes include more public-safe adapters, richer sample configuration, and integration points for the upcoming public Arena experience. Commercial packages may reference these contracts for advanced routing, certification, and managed operations, but their implementation details stay private.

Status

The plugin packages are in preview while APIs, docs, and examples are hardened. Expect useful integrations now and some API movement before stable 1.0.
