SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This guide removes uncertainty and manual boilerplate when creating, scaffolding, or documenting Paperclip plugins by providing a clear scaffold workflow, runtime assumptions, verification steps, and documentation expectations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scaffold Automation: Use the create-paperclip-plugin scaffold to generate a ready-to-edit plugin package with manifest, worker, UI, tests, and package metadata.
  • External and In-Repo Support: Supports snapshotting an SDK for plugins developed outside the repo and recommends targets for example or production packages.
  • Verification & Best Practices: Emphasizes capability declarations, route conventions, typechecking, testing, building, and documentation distinctions between current runtime and future specs.
  • Use Case: Quickly create an example plugin for documentation or a local plugin package for development and verify it with typecheck, tests, and build steps.

Quick Start

Scaffold a new Paperclip plugin package named @acme/plugin-name into packages/plugins/examples and prepare it for local development.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new Paperclip plugin package from scratch?▼

To scaffold a Paperclip plugin, use the create-paperclip-plugin generator to produce a ready-to-edit package with manifest, worker, UI, tests, and package metadata. This enforces capability declarations and route conventions for local development.

What files and conventions do I need to create a Paperclip plugin?▼

Creating a Paperclip plugin requires generating a manifest, worker, UI, and test files that satisfy specific capability and route constraints. The scaffold workflow also enforces package metadata standards for both in-repo and external package workflows.

Can I develop Paperclip plugins outside the main repository?▼

Yes, you can develop Paperclip plugins externally by snapshotting the SDK for packages outside the repo. The scaffold supports both in-repo example packages and external production package targets with appropriate metadata.

What verification steps are required before deploying a Paperclip plugin?▼

Deploying a Paperclip plugin requires running typecheck, tests, and build verifications. The scaffold workflow enforces these checks to ensure the plugin satisfies manifest and worker/UI conventions before deployment.

Does the Paperclip plugin scaffold generate test and documentation files?▼

Yes, the Paperclip plugin scaffold generates test files and supports updating plugin authoring documentation. It distinguishes between current runtime specifications and future specs for both in-repo and external workflows.

Why does scaffolding a Paperclip plugin enforce capability declarations?▼

Scaffolding enforces capability declarations to ensure the Paperclip plugin satisfies runtime assumptions and route conventions. This removes manual boilerplate and prevents configuration errors when generating the plugin skeleton.
