Trae Plugins — FAQ
How do I install plugins for Trae?
Install the BuySkills CLI globally (or use npx) and run `npx buyskills install <skill>`. The CLI auto-detects Trae and writes the skill into the correct directory. No manual config required.
Are Trae plugins paid or free?
Both. BuySkills is a marketplace where creators choose — some skills are free and community-maintained, others are paid one-time purchases. You see the price on each listing before installing.
Can I use the same skill with other AI agents besides Trae?
Yes. BuySkills was built for cross-agent portability. One install gives you the skill in every supported agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and 14+ others). No duplicate purchases.
Do updates to Trae break installed skills?
No. BuySkills uses semantic versioning and a shared registry, so skills stay pinned to the version you installed. Run `npx buyskills update` when you want the latest versions.
Does Trae's agent auto-discover BuySkills skills?
Yes. Once BuySkills installs a skill, Trae's agent surfaces it as an available capability during planning. No restart or manual registration is required.
