Description

I don't see any separate design documentation (and I didn't look in the source beyond what I needed so far),
Are there any guidelines for what functionality should be in Go and what should be done in plugins?

I'd probably want to maximize what's in plugins, modulo performance critical operations, but I don't know about the architecture of micro.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's existing documentation and the Go and plugin architecture in the source. Identify the boundary between core and plugins, then document guidelines for deciding where functionality belongs, including performance-critical exceptions. Done means contributors can use the documentation to make that split consistently.
