FAQPage Schema

How do I scaffold a new Paperclip plugin using the SDK?▼

To scaffold a Paperclip plugin, use the provided scaffold package to generate boilerplate, including the worker/UI surface, route conventions, and starter tests. You then configure the manifest and validate the generated files against the Paperclip SDK.

What files do I need to configure when creating a Paperclip plugin?▼

When creating a Paperclip plugin, you must verify and configure the src/worker.ts, src/ui/index.tsx, and package.json files. These artifacts ensure the plugin aligns with the Paperclip SDK and properly references the worker and UI surfaces.

Can I use this to update documentation for an existing Paperclip plugin?▼

Yes, you can update documentation for an existing Paperclip plugin. The tool generates or updates authoring docs to ensure consistency across projects, aligning the existing plugin configuration and surface references with the current SDK standards.

What is the best way to structure worker and UI surfaces in a Paperclip plugin?▼

The best way to structure Paperclip plugin surfaces is by using the scaffold tool to establish correct route conventions. It sets up the worker and UI surface references automatically, ensuring they align with the alpha SDK/runtime and pass configuration validation.

Do I need the alpha SDK runtime to develop Paperclip plugins?▼

Yes, developing Paperclip plugins requires the alpha SDK/runtime. The scaffold package relies on it to generate the correct boilerplate, configure the manifest, and validate that the worker and UI surfaces match the expected SDK specifications.

Why are my generated Paperclip plugin files failing validation?▼

Generated Paperclip plugin files fail validation when the manifest is improperly configured or worker/UI surface references are missing. You must verify configuration artifacts like src/worker.ts and package.json to ensure they align with the Paperclip SDK.
