Windsurf
Devin Plugins gives enterprise teams a way to manage the context and capabilities used by their AI agents. Each plugin bundles skills, rules, MCP servers, hooks and subagents into one governed configuration that works across local and cloud agents.
The launch blog post describes each plugin as a versioned bundle of agent configuration. Devin Plugins also complies with the open Agent Plugins standard.
What Devin Plugins Package
Skills define capabilities an agent can invoke. Rules provide instructions, while MCP servers connect external tools and data. Hooks and subagents can sit in the same plugin, so teams can distribute these components together rather than configuring each agent separately.
The bundle gives local and cloud agents a consistent configuration. It is designed for organisations that need approved context and capabilities across different teams, repositories, domains and technology stacks.
Versioning also gives teams a defined configuration to update and distribute. This supports a model where global standards can coexist with context owned by an individual team or repository.
BlackRock Helped Shape the Governance Model
BlackRock worked with Cognition on the enterprise governance requirements behind Devin Plugins. Its engineering team had already created bread-kit, short for BlackRock Enterprise Agentic Development Kit, as a context layer for AI-assisted development.
Bread-kit distributes trusted standards, architectural guidance, domain knowledge and skills across multiple tools. Teams create context once and distribute it to people and AI agents, giving both access to the same approved knowledge and patterns.
BlackRock governs that context through Git-based ownership and versioning. Its model combines global standards with locally owned domain expertise. Bread-kit has been adopted by every BlackRock team that codes, and new engineers start using it during onboarding.
