+Extensions package eve tools, connections, skills, instruction fragments, and hooks. An author builds an extension package; each agent that uses it declares the package as a dependency and mounts it. The package can be published to a registry or kept private inside a monorepo workspace.
 
 This enables sharing many different capability sets. A browser extension might include several tools for navigating a site. A memory extension could use hooks to capture context and tools to recall it. A self-improving extension could pair hooks with dynamic instructions.

+### Use an extension in a workspace
+
+A workspace extension is a regular extension package kept in the same monorepo as its consumers. It is useful when several agents need the same capabilities, or when a private capability should evolve alongside the agents that use it.
+
+For example, a pnpm workspace can keep one extension next to two independently deployable agents:
+
+```text
+acme-agents/
+├── pnpm-workspace.yaml
+├── packages/
+│   └── shared-capabilities/
+│       ├── package.json
+│       └── extension/
+│           ├── extension.ts
+│           ├── tools/
+│           ├── skills/
+│           └── hooks/
+└── agents/
+    ├── support/
+    │   ├── package.json
+    │   └── agent/extensions/shared.ts
+    └── operations/
+        ├── package.json
+        └── agent/extensions/shared.ts
+```
+
+Make both the extension and agent directories workspace members:
+
+```yaml title="pnpm-workspace.yaml"
+packages:
+  - "agents/*"
+  - "packages/*"
+```
+
+You can scaffold the extension from a directory already covered by the workspace configuration:
+
+```bash
+cd packages
+npx eve@latest extension init shared-capabilities
+```
+
+Give the generated package the name consumers will import. Add `"private": true` if it should never be published:
+
+```jsonc title="packages/shared-capabilities/package.json"
+{
+  "name": "@acme/shared-capabilities",
+  "private": true,
+  "eve": {
+    "extension": {
+      "source": "./extension",
+      "dist": "./dist/extension",
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Each consuming agent declares its own workspace dependency:
+
+```jsonc title="agents/support/package.json"
+{
+  "dependencies": {
+    "@acme/shared-capabilities": "workspace:*",
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Then each agent mounts the package:
+
+```ts title="agents/support/agent/extensions/shared.ts"
+export { default } from "@acme/shared-capabilities";
+```
+
+The mount is intentionally per agent. Each consumer chooses its own mount namespace and, for a configured extension, passes its own configuration. For example, `shared.ts` contributes `shared__search`, while mounting the same package as `company.ts` in another agent contributes `company__search`.
+
+#### Develop from source
+
+When `eve dev` starts a consuming agent, it builds mounted, source-backed extensions found inside the same workspace before compiling the agent. It watches the extension source and relevant package and TypeScript configuration, then rebuilds only the affected extension. If an extension edit fails to build, the previous successful development generation keeps running.
+
+Production `eve build` expects the extension distribution to exist already. Keep `eve extension build` in the extension package's `build` and `prepare` scripts, as the scaffold does, and run workspace builds in dependency order so extensions build before their consuming agents.

 In terminals that support bracketed paste, pasting multi-line text into chat or a freeform question inserts it intact and renders one row per line rather than submitting at the first line. `Shift+Enter` adds a line by hand.

+### Queue and steer while the agent works
+
+Sending a message while a turn is still running does not interrupt it — the message joins a queue of up to five, pinned in a panel directly above the input with one line per message. When the turn ends, the queued messages coalesce into the next turn's message.
+
+`Esc` steers instead of waiting: it pops the oldest queued message, cancels the running turn cooperatively, and submits the popped message as the replacement turn. In the transcript, a steered message carries an accent `↑` on its own line above its gutter bar; a queued message that waited for the boundary carries it below. Any remaining messages stay queued behind it. With nothing queued, the first `Esc` arms cancellation and a second `Esc` cancels the turn. Unlike `Ctrl+C` — which drops the stream client-side — a cancelled turn ends cleanly on the server and the session keeps its context; the conversation picks up at the next prompt.
