<!-- Greeting --> Hi @sivakumarselvam! I'm [Dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot) and I’m helping the incubator-devlake team. <!-- Answer --> The absence of binary application files like "dora" or "github" in the plugins directory is expected behavior. Apache DevLake loads plugins as shared object (.so) files, not as standalone binaries. The build process compiles plugins into .so files using Go's plugin system, and the application scans for and loads these .so files at startup—there is no need for separate binary executables for plugins to function. You can see this in the build script and the plugin loader implementation, which only reference .so files and not binaries ([build-plugins.sh](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/blob/main/backend/scripts/build-plugins.sh), [plugin loader](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/blob/main/backend/core/runner/loader.go)). If you see dora.so and other .so files in `/app/bin/plugins/`, your plugins are present and will be loaded automatically. No additional binary files are required for plugin operation in DevLake. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
