+### Namespace Sub-packages
+
+`mistralai` uses [PEP 420](https://peps.python.org/pep-0420/) implicit namespace packages. Separate PyPI packages (e.g. `mistralai-workflows`) install under the shared `mistralai` namespace with no `__init__.py` at the top level. Install them directly:
+
+```bash
+uv add mistralai-workflows                    # core
+uv add "mistralai-workflows[mistralai]"       # core + plugin
