 ## Features

- **Provider-based architecture** — Search applications, commands, system actions, SSH hosts, clipboard history, bookmarks, emoji, and more
+- **Modular plugin architecture** — Install only what you need
 - **Fuzzy search with tags** — Fast matching across names, descriptions, and category tags
- **Configurable tabs** — Customize header tabs and keyboard shortcuts
+- **13 native plugins** — Calculator, clipboard, emoji, weather, media, and more
+- **Widget providers** — Weather, media controls, and pomodoro timer at the top of results
 - **Filter prefixes** — Scope searches with `:app`, `:cmd`, `:tag:development`, etc.
- **Calculator** — Quick math with `= 5+3` or `calc sin(pi/2)`
- **Web search** — Search the web with `? query`
- **File search** — Find files with `/ filename` (requires `fd` or `locate`)
 - **Frecency ranking** — Frequently/recently used items rank higher
 - **GTK4 theming** — System theme by default, with 9 built-in themes
 - **Wayland native** — Uses Layer Shell for proper overlay behavior
+- **Extensible** — Create custom plugins in Lua or Rune

-### Tab Configuration
+## Plugin System

-Customize which providers appear as header tabs:
+Owlry uses a modular plugin architecture. Plugins are loaded from:
+
+- `/usr/lib/owlry/plugins/*.so` — System plugins (AUR packages)
+- `~/.config/owlry/plugins/` — User plugins (requires `owlry-lua` or `owlry-rune`)
+
+### Disabling Plugins
+
+Add plugin IDs to the disabled list in your config:

 ```toml
-[general]
-# Available: app, cmd, uuctl, bookmark, calc, clip, dmenu,
-#            emoji, file, script, ssh, sys, web
-tabs = ["app", "cmd", "ssh", "sys"]
+[plugins]
+disabled = ["emoji", "pomodoro"]
 ```

-Keyboard shortcuts `Ctrl+1` through `Ctrl+9` map to tab positions.
+### Creating Custom Plugins

-## Providers
-
-| Provider | Description | Trigger |
-|----------|-------------|---------|
-| **Applications** | `.desktop` files from XDG directories | `:app` |
-| **Commands** | Executables in `$PATH` | `:cmd` |
-| **System** | Shutdown, reboot, suspend, lock, BIOS | `:sys` |
-| **SSH** | Hosts from `~/.ssh/config` | `:ssh` |
-| **Clipboard** | History via cliphist | `:clip` |
-| **Bookmarks** | Chrome, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi | `:bm` |
-| **Emoji** | 300+ searchable emoji | `:emoji` |
-| **Scripts** | User scripts | `:script` |
-| **Calculator** | Math expressions | `=` or `:calc` |
-| **Web Search** | Configurable engine | `?` or `:web` |
-| **Files** | fd/locate search | `/` or `:file` |
-| **systemd** | User services with actions | `:uuctl` |
-
-### Tags
-
-Items are tagged for better search:
- **Applications**: Categories from `.desktop` files (development, utility, etc.)
- **System**: `power`, `system`
- **SSH**: `ssh`
- **Scripts**: `script`
- **systemd**: `systemd`, `service`
-
-Filter by tag with `:tag:tagname`:
-```
-:tag:development     # Show development apps
-:tag:utility vim     # Search utilities for "vim"
-```
-
-### Scripts
-
-Create executable scripts in `~/.local/share/owlry/scripts/`:
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p ~/.local/share/owlry/scripts
-cat > ~/.local/share/owlry/scripts/backup.sh << 'EOF'
-#!/bin/bash
-rsync -av ~/Documents /backup/
-notify-send "Backup complete"
-EOF
-chmod +x ~/.local/share/owlry/scripts/backup.sh

+//! Owlry Lua Runtime
+//!
+//! This crate provides Lua plugin support for owlry. It is loaded dynamically
+//! by the core when Lua plugins need to be executed.
+//!
+//! # Architecture
+//!
+//! The runtime acts as a "meta-plugin" that:
+//! 1. Discovers Lua plugins in `~/.config/owlry/plugins/`
+//! 2. Creates sandboxed Lua VMs for each plugin
+//! 3. Registers the `owlry` API table
+//! 4. Bridges Lua providers to native `PluginItem` format
+//!
+//! # Plugin Structure
+//!
+//! Each plugin lives in its own directory:
+//! ```text
+//! ~/.config/owlry/plugins/
+//!   my-plugin/
+//!     plugin.toml    # Plugin manifest
+//!     init.lua       # Entry point
+//! ```

+//! Pomodoro Timer Widget Plugin for Owlry
+//!
+//! Shows timer with work/break cycles. Select to open controls submenu.
+//! State persists across sessions via JSON file.
+//!
+//! ## Configuration
+//!
+//! Configure via `~/.config/owlry/config.toml`:
+//!
+//! ```toml
+//! [plugins.pomodoro]
+//! work_mins = 25      # Work session duration (default: 25)
+//! break_mins = 5      # Break duration (default: 5)
+//! ```

+//! Owlry Rune Runtime
+//!
+//! This crate provides a Rune scripting runtime for owlry user plugins.
+//! It is loaded dynamically by the core when installed.
+//!
+//! # Architecture
+//!
+//! The runtime exports a C-compatible vtable that the core uses to:
+//! 1. Initialize the runtime with a plugins directory
+//! 2. Get a list of providers from loaded plugins
+//! 3. Refresh/query providers
+//! 4. Clean up resources
+//!
+//! # Plugin Structure
+//!
+//! Rune plugins live in `~/.config/owlry/plugins/<plugin-name>/`:
+//! ```text
+//! my-plugin/
+//!   plugin.toml    # Manifest
+//!   init.rn        # Entry point (Rune script)
+//! ```
