+Surfactant supports using plugins to add additional features. Users can install plugins with `surfactant plugin install` and disable or enable them with `surfactant plugin disable` and `surfactant plugin enable` respectively. `surfactant plugin install` detects the active virtual environment and runs the appropriate command i.e. `pipx` or `pip`. Alternatively, users can manually manage their environments with `pipx inject surfactant` when using pipx or `pip install`.
 
 Detailed information on configuration options for the plugin system and how to develop new plugins can be found [here](./docs/plugins.md).
