Plugin Author Quick Path
Choose the page that matches your next task.
| Your task | Go to |
|---|---|
| Build your first plugin in the Sero monorepo | Plugin Quickstart |
| Find the Notes example file for one feature | Plugin End-to-End Example |
| Install, develop, or distribute a plugin | Plugins |
| Add Search, Explorer, title bar, Dashboard, or workspace-creation UI | Plugin Extension Points |
| Use React host hooks and file-backed state | App Runtime Reference |
| Install or remove an app as a user | App Store, Favorites, and Installed Plugins |
Start with Plugin Quickstart if you are a new author. It gives you one complete journey from the maintained Notes example to an active local development session.
Use an extension-only plugin when you need only Pi tools or commands. Add a UI when a user must interact with the plugin directly. Add a background runtime only for long-running work, such as watchers, recovery, or orchestration.
