SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill streamlines the development lifecycle of Boring UI plugins, removing the friction of manual scaffolding, dependency management, and configuration errors when extending the agent-centric workspace.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Scaffolding: Instantly generate correctly structured plugin directories with valid manifests and boilerplate code.
  • Verification & Testing: Automate the diagnostic loop to ensure plugin front-ends, agent tools, and dependencies are correctly integrated and functional.
  • Use Case: Quickly build a custom dashboard panel for your workspace by scaffolding the plugin, adding your React components, and using the built-in verification tools to ensure hot-reloading works seamlessly.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to scaffold a new plugin named my-dashboard to begin building your custom workspace extension.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new Boring UI workspace plugin?

To scaffold a Boring UI workspace plugin, ask the agent to generate a new plugin directory. This automated scaffolding instantly creates a correctly structured directory with valid manifests and boilerplate code for your custom workspace extension.

What is a Boring UI plugin and what components can I build with it?

A Boring UI plugin extends the agent-centric workspace by adding custom functionality. You can build hot-reloadable React panels, Pi agent extensions, and static server integrations within the Boring UI ecosystem.

Can I use React components in my Boring UI workspace plugins?

Yes, you can use React components in Boring UI workspace plugins. The skill supports the development of hot-reloadable React panels, allowing you to quickly build custom dashboard panels for your workspace environment.

How do I verify and test Boring UI plugin integrations?

You verify Boring UI plugin integrations using built-in automated diagnostic tools. This verification loop ensures that plugin front-ends, agent tools, and dependencies are correctly integrated, functional, and compliant with architecture standards.

Why does my Boring UI plugin fail dependency isolation or UI bridge communication?

Boring UI plugin failures often stem from non-compliance with dependency isolation or UI bridge communication standards. The skill enforces these plugin architecture standards during scaffolding and verifies them through automated diagnostic checks.
