# Roblox Studio Integration

27+ specialized tools that connect directly to Roblox Studio. Edit scripts, manipulate instances, query DataStores, and search the Toolbox — all from your terminal.

## How it works

Stud communicates with Roblox Studio through a companion plugin. The plugin runs a local HTTP server inside Studio, allowing Stud to read and modify your game in real-time. Everything stays on your machine.

You type a prompt→Stud plans actions→Plugin executes→Studio updates

## Setup

The plugin is included in the Stud repository. To install:

Terminal

```
# Copy plugin to Roblox Studio plugins folder
cp plugins/stud-plugin.rbxm ~/Documents/Roblox/Plugins/

# Restart Roblox Studio, then enable HTTP Requests:
# Game Settings → Security → Allow HTTP Requests ✓
```

✓

Once the plugin is active, Stud will automatically detect the connection when you start a session. No additional configuration needed.
