# Plugins {#plugins}

The **plugins** are external packages that add extra linting power to ESLint. They provide the actual rules for different ecosystems like **React**, **Next.js**, and **TypeScript**. Without these plugins, the rules cannot run. Each plugin brings its own set of checks to improve code quality and consistency.
