How do I add custom actions to the IntelliJ IDEA menu?▼

Custom actions are added to IntelliJ IDEA by defining them in the plugin descriptor and implementing the action class. This skill provides boilerplate code demonstrating how to register and trigger actions from the IDE menu.

What is the best way to implement project-scoped services for an IntelliJ plugin?▼

Project-scoped services manage plugin state and logic within IntelliJ. The best way to implement them is by using the IntelliJ Platform SDK, and this skill provides code examples for structuring these services effectively.

Can I build custom tool windows and code completion using Kotlin for IntelliJ plugins?▼

Yes, you can build tool windows and add intelligent code completion using Kotlin. This skill targets Java and Kotlin developers, offering configuration examples and guides for UI integration and real-time code analysis.

Do I need to understand the IntelliJ Platform SDK to use this skill?▼

Yes, understanding the IntelliJ Platform SDK and the Gradle build system is required. This skill streamlines development by providing boilerplate code and configuration examples, but it assumes foundational knowledge of the platform.

What are the limitations when generating code completion features for IntelliJ IDEA?▼

Code completion features require proper integration with the IntelliJ Platform SDK. While this skill illustrates how to add intelligent completion and annotations, complex custom language support may require manual implementation beyond the provided boilerplate.
