# Encore Features

> Optional, feature-gated capabilities that let Maestro ship fast without bloating the core experience.

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.

## Enabling Encore Features

Open **Settings** (`Cmd+,` / `Ctrl+,`) and navigate to the **Encore Features** tab. Toggle individual features on or off. Each feature may have its own configuration options that appear when enabled.

## 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](https://github.com/RunMaestro/Maestro/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#encore-features-feature-gating) for the full implementation checklist, architecture details, and the canonical reference implementation (Director's Notes).
