Field notes
The project organizes built-in and plugin actions through one typed command registry, which the page says is shared by keybinds, macros, pipelines and its AI agent. Its documentation is divided by role—operators, plugin authors, client authors and end users—and the API reference gives concrete counts for its types and operations. The page identifies release readiness and a first-run path as upcoming, so the described scope is more certain than the project's current availability.
