FAQPage Schema

How do I package a Betty Framework plugin for deployment?▼

Plugin Build bundles your plugin directory into a deployable archive by validating entrypoints, collecting plugin files, and generating tar.gz or zip packages with checksums and manifests for distribution integrity.

What files do I need to build a plugin package?▼

You need a plugin.yaml file and related assets—skills, utilities, registries, and documentation—in your plugin directory. Plugin Build validates these files and collects them into the archive automatically.

Can I verify the integrity of a packaged plugin?▼

Yes. Plugin Build generates MD5 and SHA256 checksums along with a manifest.json, enabling you to verify package contents and detect tampering or corruption during distribution.

How do I validate plugin entrypoints before packaging?▼

Plugin Build automatically validates all entrypoints defined in plugin.yaml during the build process, catching configuration errors before creating the deployable archive.

What's included in the build report?▼

The build report documents the packaging process, file inventory, and validation results, providing an audit trail for verification and troubleshooting deployment issues.
