# Using a plugin

You can use a plugin by simply installing it using npm.

npm i @chitchatjs/plugin-ax-common

and then, importing it into the state where you want to add that experience in your skill.

import { common } from "@chitchatjs/plugin-ax-common";

let state1 = ax
  .state()
  .block(
    ax
      .compound()
      .add(ax.say("This is plugin usage example"))
      .add(common.defaultHandlers()) // from common plugin
      .build()
  )
  .build();
