Overview

The AiiDA Plugin Registry is not a software tool itself but the central catalog of all available plugins for the AiiDA ecosystem. It lists verified and community-contributed plugins that interface AiiDA with various simulation codes, schedulers, and data tools. It serves as the primary discovery mechanism for AiiDA users to find extensions for their specific codes.
