Encore Features are Maestro's system for shipping powerful capabilities that aren't essential for every user. They're disabled by default and completely invisible when off — no shortcuts, no menu items, no command palette entries. This keeps the core app lean while letting power users opt into advanced workflows.
Think of them as a precursor to a full plugin marketplace: each Encore Feature adds significant functionality, but only for users who want it.
Open Settings (Cmd+, / Ctrl+,) and navigate to the Encore Features tab. Toggle individual features on or off. Each feature may have its own configuration options that appear when enabled.
| Feature | Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Director's Notes | Cmd+Shift+O / Ctrl+Shift+O |
Unified timeline of all agent activity with AI-powered synopses |
| Maestro Cue | Cmd+Shift+Q / Ctrl+Shift+Q |
Event-driven automation: file changes, timers, agent chaining, GitHub polling, and task tracking |
Want to build a new Encore Feature? The architecture is designed for easy extension — add a flag, wire up the toggle, gate the access points, and your feature ships behind a clean opt-in.
See the Encore Features contributor guide for the full implementation checklist, architecture details, and the canonical reference implementation (Director's Notes).
