• Implement plugin discovery mechanisms
• Support plugin configuration
• Manage plugin lifecycle events
• Create plugin development tooling

Target Processes

• Plugin and Extension Architecture
• SDK Architecture Design
• Developer Experience Optimization

Integration Points

• Plugin registries (npm, PyPI)
• SDK extension points
• Configuration systems
• Version compatibility checkers
• Plugin development CLIs

Input Requirements

• Plugin interface requirements
• Compatibility rules
• Discovery mechanisms
• Lifecycle requirements
• Documentation needs

Output Artifacts

• Plugin interface definitions
• Plugin loader implementation
• Compatibility validator
• Plugin documentation generator
• Discovery mechanism
• Plugin CLI tools

Usage Example

skill:
  name: plugin-registry-manager
  context:
    pluginInterface:
      version: "1.0"
      hooks:
        - onInit
        - onRequest
        - onResponse
        - onError
    discovery:
      patterns:
        - "@mysdk/plugin-*"
        - "mysdk-plugin-*"
      sources:
        - npm
        - local
    compatibility:
      sdkVersion: "semver"
      nodeVersion: ">=16"
    lifecycle:
      init: true
      shutdown: true

Best Practices

1. Version plugin interfaces explicitly
2. Validate compatibility before loading
3. Support local development plugins
4. Provide plugin development CLI
5. Document plugin authoring clearly
6. Handle plugin failures gracefully
