Encore Features are Maestro’s system for shipping powerful capabilities that aren’t essential for every user. They’re disabled by default and completely invisible when off - no shortcuts, no menu items, no command palette entries. This keeps the core app lean while letting power users opt into advanced workflows. Think of them as a precursor to a full plugin marketplace: each Encore Feature adds significant functionality, but only for users who want it.

For Developers

Want to build a new Encore Feature? The architecture is designed for easy extension - add a flag, wire up the toggle, gate the access points, and your feature ships behind a clean opt-in. See the Encore Features contributor guide for the full implementation checklist, architecture details, and the canonical reference implementation (Director’s Notes).
