+
+These are the current highest-friction plugins for users. Treat them as the
+default queue for the next research / CI cycle, but do not include Nu core
+plugins or native commands (see "Core / bundled plugins not via numan" below).
+
+- `yybit/nu_plugin_compress`: archive compression (zstd/gzip/bzip2/xz)
+- `Neuron-Mr-White/nu_plugin_terminal_qr` (or `FMotalleb/nu_plugin_qr_maker`):
+  terminal QR codes
+- `kaathewisegit/nugins` (`nu_plugin_endecode`): extra `encode`/`decode`
+  schemes (nugins monorepo, crate at `endecode/`)
+- `JosephTLyons/nu_plugin_units`: common unit conversions
+- `ArmoredPony/nu_plugin_hashes`: extended hash functions
+- `amtoine/nu_plugin_kdl`: KDL format support
+- `cptpiepmatz/nu-jupyter-kernel` (`crates/nu_plugin_plotters`): chart
+  plotting; `Euphrasiologist/nu_plugin_plot` is already in the registry as
+  the maintained plotting alternative
+- `devyn/nu_plugin_dbus`: Linux D-Bus interface

+`numan/docs/plans/2026-07-19-six-month-strategy-audit.md`).
+
+### Core / bundled plugins not via numan
+
+Do not CI-build, release, or distribute through numan the plugins that ship
+with Nu or the `clip` / `clipboard` native command. These come from the Nu
+channel, package manager, or `cargo install nushell`, not from the Numan
+registry.
+
+Core / bundled plugins: `nu_plugin_polars`, `nu_plugin_query`,
+`nu_plugin_formats`, `nu_plugin_gstat`, `nu_plugin_inc`.
+
+Native command: `clip` / `clipboard` (Nushell 0.111+, currently gated behind
+the `native-clip` experimental option). It supersedes
+`FMotalleb/nu_plugin_clipboard` once `native-clip` stabilizes to default-on;
+until then the plugin remains the practical path.
