paperclip-create-plugin

To scaffold a Paperclip plugin, run the build command for the create-paperclip-plugin package and execute its compiled output script with your desired npm package name and target directory. This automatically generates the foundational plugin structure.

The best way to start Paperclip plugin development is using an automated scaffolding tool to generate the basic project structure. This provides a standardized template that includes initial documentation guidelines, which you can then expand upon.

The Paperclip plugin creation process requires no external dependencies to run the scaffold. It operates as a standalone script, though you will need pnpm installed to build the package before executing the generation command.

Yes, you can generate Paperclip plugin documentation automatically. The scaffolding process includes documentation guidance, providing instructions and structural templates for authoring plugin docs alongside the initial project files.

The Paperclip plugin scaffolding tool explicitly supports the alpha SDK. It is designed to automate plugin creation specifically within this version, providing a compatible template structure for developers building new ecosystem extensions.

A key limitation of creating Paperclip plugins with the alpha SDK is that the underlying SDK is still in development. The generated scaffold provides a basic template that may require manual adjustments as the SDK matures beyond its alpha state.
