What problem does it solve? Building a Vetta desktop plugin normally requires reading SDK documentation, writing manifest and UI code, and running build and install steps correctly. This Skill automates that entire pipeline for non-developers: it reads the version-matched plugin handbook, scaffolds the project, implements the extension, builds and packs it, and guides installation into the local Vetta app. ## Core Features & Use Cases - End-to-end plugin pipeline: Clarify requirements, scaffold with the bundled CLI (init), implement against the SDK manual, then build and pack with build-and-pack.mjs into a versioned zip. - Version-matched documentation: Locates the plugin handbook shipped inside the project's own @vetta-org/plugin-sdk via the CLI docs --json command, so API contracts always match the compiled SDK version. - Extension point coverage: Supports activity tabs, workspace views, input-bar actions, file previews, agent tools, message cards, MCP servers, guiding words, and contributed agents/teams. - Hot-reload workflow: Detects devWatch state on installed plugins and uses hot update for iteration instead of reinstalling. - Use Case: A user says "make me a plugin that previews .xyz files." The Skill asks for the plugin id and name, reads the file-preview and styling chapters of the manual, scaffolds the project, implements the preview component with proper error notification, builds the zip, and tells the user to click "Apply to Vetta" in the workbench panel. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a Vetta plugin for your idea, for example: "Create a Vetta plugin that adds a sidebar panel showing my project notes, then build and install it."
