Plugin Development

Quick Start

Create a complete agent:

markdown

---
description: Expert in X domain, helping with Y and Z
capabilities:
  - "Build X systems"
  - "Optimize performance"
  - "Debug issues"
---

# Agent Name

## Overview
Expert specializing in X domain with 5+ years experience.

## Expert Areas

### Area 1: Core Concepts
Explanation and best practices...

## When to Use
Use this agent when building X or optimizing Y.

## Integration
Works with: agent-2, agent-3, skill-common

Agent Implementation

YAML Frontmatter

## Command Implementation

### Command Files

```markdown
# /command-name - One-Line Description

## What This Does

[Clear explanation of what command does]

## Usage

/command-name /command-name --option value /command-name --flag1 v1 --flag2 v2

code


## Options

| Option | Type | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| `--option` | string | What it does |
| `--flag` | boolean | Enables X |

## Example

$ /command-name my-plugin Creating plugin... ✅ Done!

Next: /command-2

  "hooks": [
    {
      "id": "unique-id",
      "name": "Hook Display Name",
      "description": "What it does",
      "event": "event-type",
      "condition": "condition-logic",
      "action": "action-handler",
      "enabled": true
    }
  ],
  "notifications": {
    "enabled": true,
    "channels": ["in-app", "console"]
  }
}
