Built-In Plugins

Built-in plugins ship with RealTimeX and appear in Settings > Plugins with a Built-in badge.

These plugins are part of the product, but they still use the same plugin management flow as installed plugins. That means you can usually enable, disable, configure, or reload them from the Plugins page.

What is different about built-in plugins

• they ship with RealTimeX
• they cannot be uninstalled from the UI
• some are enabled by default
• some expose settings, while others simply add agent skills or provider integrations

Detailed guides

• Use Agent Browser when you need browser sessions, authenticated browsing, screenshots, or web automation.
• Use RealtimeX Moderator when you want to understand how advanced agents interact with RealTimeX workspaces, threads, sessions, credentials, and browser coordination.
• Use Find Skills when you want agents to discover installable skills for specialized tasks.
• Use Notes, Wiki & Memory Plugins when you want to understand how QMD, Personal Notes, LLM Wiki, and Workspace Memories work together.
• Use RealtimeX BizOps when you need email, iMessage, WhatsApp CLI, CRM, or cross-channel BizOps workflows.
• Use Image Generation Plugins when you need provider setup, ordering, or fallback behavior.
• Use Runtime Auto-Approve when you need to inspect or change approval policy behavior.
• Use Skill Creator when you want agents to create, evaluate, or refine reusable skills.
• Use RealtimeX Plugin Developer when plugin-authoring or plugin-deployment workflows are in scope.
• Use Terminal Governance and RealtimeX AI Gateway when terminal-agent governance, launch context, or local proxy behavior matters.
• Use RealtimeX Public Exposure when you need generated public hostnames for workspace share, embed, or artifact delivery.
• Use RealtimeX Loops when you need role-based multi-agent loop workflows.

Default-enabled built-ins that mostly work in the background

Many default-enabled built-ins add background capability to agents rather than exposing a large standalone settings surface.

Agent Browser

Enabled by default. Pairs with the desktop Browser Tool so agents can work inside reusable browser sessions.

RealtimeX Moderator

Enabled by default. Gives advanced agent workflows direct access to RealTimeX platform features such as workspaces, threads, activities, tools, and related state.

Find Skills, Skill Creator, and RealtimeX Plugin Developer

Enabled by default. These plugins help agents discover new skills, improve skill workflows, and handle plugin-authoring tasks without requiring ordinary end users to configure a separate screen first.

QMD, Personal Notes, Workspace Memories, and RealtimeX LLM Wiki

Enabled by default. Together these plugins power note retrieval, structured wiki workflows, and background memory recall across notes and working directories.

Terminal Governance

Enabled by default. It provides the dashboard contract behind the Terminal Agents page so RealTimeX can render plugin-backed catalog and governance status.

Default-enabled built-ins that still need careful configuration

Runtime Auto-Approve

This plugin now ships enabled by default, but that does not mean every action is automatically trusted.

It is still a security-sensitive policy layer for ACP and supervised terminal workflows, so review its rules before assuming the defaults match your risk tolerance.

RealtimeX BizOps

This plugin ships enabled by default, but the operational channels inside it still need intentional setup.

Treat it as an admin-facing integration surface, not something that is automatically ready for email, iMessage, WhatsApp CLI, or CRM workflows on first launch.

Disabled-by-default built-ins you opt into

RealtimeX AI Gateway

This plugin is opt-in because it introduces governed terminal-agent routing, local proxy behavior, and additional runtime listeners.

RealtimeX Public Exposure

This plugin is opt-in because it controls generated public workspace-share, embed, and artifact routes for the app.

RealtimeX Loops

This plugin is opt-in because it provisions a role-based multi-agent loop workflow that needs explicit topology choices.

Image generation built-ins

The image generation plugins are disabled by default because they usually require API keys and provider configuration before use.

See Image Generation Plugins for setup.

Best practices

• Keep the default-enabled skill plugins on unless you have a specific reason to reduce available agent capabilities.
• Treat Runtime Auto-Approve as a security-sensitive plugin, not a convenience toggle.
• Configure RealtimeX BizOps channel by channel instead of enabling everything at once.
• Enable RealtimeX AI Gateway, RealtimeX Public Exposure, and RealtimeX Loops only when the related workflow is actually needed.
• Enable only the image generation providers you actually plan to configure and use.
