neplexlabs CommandKit Plugin Development
Activation guidance
Use when building custom plugins that modify CommandKit runtime behavior, command registration flow, or source compilation.
Required filesystem expectations
- plugin source files in project plugin directory (for example
src/plugins/**) - plugin wiring in
commandkit.config.ts - optional template output targets under application source tree
Execution workflow
- Decide plugin type: runtime vs compiler.
- Implement focused plugin class with explicit hook usage.
- Register plugin in config and validate lifecycle behavior.
- Add logging/tests for hook behavior and failure modes.
Guardrails
- Keep plugin scope narrow and explicit.
- Avoid heavy side effects in hot hooks.
- For compiler plugins, preserve code correctness and source maps when transforming.
