FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new Paperclip plugin with UI and worker code?

To scaffold a Paperclip plugin, execute `npx create-paperclip-plugin` in your project root. This automates the initial plugin setup, providing a standard structure to organize your plugin's UI and worker code components.

What is the standard way to document Paperclip plugins during development?

Documenting Paperclip plugins involves using built-in scaffolding guidelines that automate documentation structure creation. This provides a standardized way to generate documentation alongside your UI and worker code during the plugin development lifecycle.

Can I develop a Paperclip plugin outside of the main repository?

Yes, you can develop a Paperclip plugin outside of the main repository. The scaffolding tool offers targeted workflows that support both in-repo and out-of-repo plugin creation, allowing you to build independently before integrating it within Paperclip instances.

Do I need to install the create-paperclip-plugin package globally to generate a plugin?

No, you do not need a global installation. You can run `npx create-paperclip-plugin` directly in your project's root directory to invoke the scaffolding process, which manages the setup and integration of the required SDK dependencies locally.

What limitations exist when integrating an out-of-repo Paperclip plugin into a Paperclip instance?

The scaffolding tool focuses on structuring UI and worker code for out-of-repo plugins before integrating them within Paperclip instances. While it standardizes initial setup and documentation, complex custom integration logic beyond standard SDK workflows may require manual configuration.
