Documentation

README

Excerpt

Create Kandev Plugin

Build Kandev runtime plugins from the official template and current public contracts. Keep plugin source outside the Kandev monorepo and prove the packaged artifact against a disposable development instance before publishing it.

Start with the canonical plugin authoring guide. Use this skill for the repository workflow after choosing a recipe there: choose recipe → edit manifest → implement → validate → package → smoke test. The guide owns the complete hook/Host matrix; this skill keeps the repository and verification procedure concise.
