## Optional

### XP / Progression

- [ml_skills](https://portal.cfx.re): Skill tree system. Set `Config.XP.Provider = 'ml_skills'` to use its leveling backend instead of the internal XP table
- [devhub_xp](https://devhub.gg): DevHub XP system. Set `Config.XP.Provider = 'devhub'` and configure the export names in `Config.XP.DevHub`

### Interaction

- [ox_target](https://github.com/overextended/ox_target) / [qb-target](https://github.com/qbcore-framework/qb-target): 3D targeting system for station interaction. Auto-detected by ml_bridge. Falls back to TextUI if no target system is available, or force TextUI with `Config.Interaction = 'textui'`
