Workflow Plugins

Turing-workflow-plugins is a collection of actor plugins for Turing-workflow. Each plugin is packaged as a separate JAR and can be loaded at runtime into any workflow using the DynamicActorLoaderActor.

Plugin Architecture

Plugins follow the standard actor pattern:

• Implement IIActorRef<T>
• Annotate callable methods with @Action
• Bundle META-INF/javadoc.properties so the Workflow Editor can display Javadoc links

Plugins are distributed via Maven Central under the group com.scivicslab.turingworkflow.plugins.

Available Plugins

Plugin	Artifact ID	Description
plugin-llm	plugin-llm	Send prompts to LLM providers (Claude, OpenAI, etc.)

Loading a Plugin in YAML

Use DynamicActorLoaderActor to load a plugin JAR from Maven Central at workflow runtime:

steps:
  - states: ["0", "1"]
    actions:
      - actor: loader
        method: loadJar
        arguments: "com.scivicslab.turingworkflow.plugins:plugin-llm:1.0.0"

  - states: ["1", "2"]
    actions:
      - actor: loader
        method: createChild
        arguments: ["ROOT", "llm", "com.scivicslab.turingworkflow.plugins.llm.LlmActor"]

Once loaded, the plugin actor is available by name for the remainder of the workflow.
