Inline directive parsing that lets users control agent behavior mid-conversation.

**Package:** `@elizaos/plugin-directives`

## Overview

The Directives plugin adds inline directive parsing to elizaOS agents. Users can include directives such as `@think`, `@model`, `@verbose`, and others directly in their messages to modify how the agent processes and responds to that particular input. This provides fine-grained, per-message control over agent behavior without changing global configuration.

## Installation

```bash
eliza plugins install directives
```

## Configuration

This plugin has no configuration parameters. It works out of the box once installed.
