# Nushell Plugins Integration (v1.0.0) - See detailed guide for complete reference

For complete documentation on Nushell plugins including installation, configuration, and advanced usage, see:

- **Complete Guide**: [Plugin Integration Guide](plugin-integration-guide.md) (1500+ lines)
- **Quick Reference**: [Nushell Plugins Guide](nushell-plugins-guide.md)

## Overview

Native Nushell plugins eliminate HTTP overhead and provide direct Rust-to-Nushell integration for critical platform operations.

### Performance Improvements

| Plugin | Operation | HTTP Latency | Plugin Latency | Speedup |
|--------|-----------|--------------|----------------|---------|
| **nu_plugin_kms** | Encrypt (RustyVault) | ~50 ms | ~5 ms | **10x** |
| **nu_plugin_kms** | Decrypt (RustyVault) | ~50 ms | ~5 ms | **10x** |
| **nu_plugin_orchestrator** | Status query | ~30 ms | ~1 ms | **30x** |
| **nu_plugin_auth** | Verify session | ~50 ms | ~10 ms | **5x** |

### Three Native Plugins

1. **Authentication Plugin (nu_plugin_auth)**
   - JWT login/logout with password prompts
   - MFA enrollment (TOTP, WebAuthn)
   - Session management
   - OS-native keyring integration

2. **KMS Plugin (nu_plugin_kms)**
   - Multiple backend support (RustyVault, Age, Cosmian, AWS KMS, Vault)
   - 10x faster encryption/decryption
   - Context-based encryption (AAD support)

3. **Orchestrator Plugin (nu_plugin_orchestrator)**
   - Direct file-based operations (no HTTP)
   - 30-50x faster status queries
   - KCL workflow validation

## Quick Commands

```nushell
# Authentication
auth login admin
auth verify
auth mfa enroll totp

# KMS Operations
kms encrypt "data"
kms decrypt "vault:v1:abc123..."

# Orchestrator
orch status
orch validate workflows/deploy.ncl
orch tasks --status running
```

## Installation

```bash
cd provisioning/core/plugins/nushell-plugins
cargo build --release --all

# Register with Nushell
plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_auth
plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_kms
plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_orchestrator
```

## Benefits

✅ **10x faster KMS operations** (5 ms vs 50 ms)
✅ **30-50x faster orchestrator queries** (1 ms vs 30-50 ms)
✅ **Native Nushell integration** with data structures and pipelines
✅ **Offline capability** (KMS with Age, orchestrator local ops)
✅ **OS-native keyring** for secure token storage
