+Plugins
+=======
+
+Plugins are `Python <https://www.python.org>`_ programs that use **hircine**'s
+plugin architecture to customize or enhance the behaviour of certain parts of
+the application.
+
+There are two types of plugins. **Scrapers** read and report metadata from
+arbitrary sources and **Transformers** may modify that metadata freely before
+it is shown in the :ref:`scraper-interface`. As such, transformers cater to the
+needs of a specific user (e.g. to ignore certain pieces of metadata).
