## Introduction
FlowModel provides a simple entry point for experimenting with AI and machine learning. It allows users to start with a minimal framework and extend it by creating and adding plugins. The framework is designed to focus on simplicity, modularity, and extensibility.

## Installation

### Prerequisites
- Python 3.8 or higher
- `pip` package manager

### Steps
1. Clone the repository:
```bash

## Usage

### Training a Model
To train a model using FlowModel, run:
```bash
python main.py train
```
This will load any available plugins from the `plugins/` directory and apply their logic during the training process.

### Adding Plugins
To add a plugin, place a `.py` file with your plugin class in the `plugins/` directory. FlowModel automatically detects and loads plugins at runtime.

---

## Creating Plugins
Plugins extend the functionality of FlowModel. To create a plugin:

1. **Create a new Python file in the `plugins/` directory**:
```bash
plugins/my_plugin.py
```

2. **Define your plugin class**:
```python
class MyPlugin:
def __init__(self):
print("MyPlugin initialized.")

def modify_model(self, model):
print("MyPlugin: Modifying the model.")
return model

def on_train_start(self):
print("MyPlugin: Training started.")

def on_train_end(self):
print("MyPlugin: Training finished.")
```

3. **Use your plugin during training**:
When `main.py` runs, it automatically loads your plugin and calls its methods.

---

## Command-Line Interface
FlowModel includes a simple CLI for interacting with the framework.

### Commands
- **Train**: Start the training process with plugins.
```bash
python main.py train
```
