# Triplet plugin

The Triplet plugin provides a standalone Triplet <Compose /> template and exports the reusable `triplet` service component for application plugins.

The plugin binary is `sitectl-triplet`. The command namespace is `sitectl triplet`, and contexts created by this plugin use `plugin: triplet`.

## Create

Start a standalone Triplet project:

```bash theme={null}
sitectl create triplet
```

The create flow clones the Triplet template, configures a sitectl context, and uses the template's Makefile targets for initialization and lifecycle commands.

## Lifecycle

Run lifecycle commands against the active Triplet context:

```bash theme={null}
sitectl triplet init
sitectl triplet up
sitectl triplet down
sitectl triplet status
sitectl triplet logs
sitectl triplet rollout
```

Project discovery claims local Compose projects that contain a `triplet` service, so `--context .` can resolve a checked-out Triplet project without a saved context.

## Service component

Application plugins can import the Triplet component package and register it with their own target rules. The component supports `enabled`, `disabled`, and `distributed` dispositions.

```bash theme={null}
sitectl component describe triplet
sitectl component set triplet enabled
sitectl component set triplet disabled
sitectl component set triplet distributed
```

Use `distributed` when the application should point at an external Triplet service instead of managing Triplet in the current Compose project.
