CommandKit Plugin Development

Activation guidance

Use when building custom plugins that modify CommandKit runtime behavior, command registration flow, or source compilation.

Required filesystem expectations

  • plugin source files in project plugin directory (for example src/plugins/**)
  • plugin wiring in commandkit.config.ts
  • optional template output targets under application source tree

Execution workflow

  1. Decide plugin type: runtime vs compiler.
  2. Implement focused plugin class with explicit hook usage.
  3. Register plugin in config and validate lifecycle behavior.
  4. Add logging/tests for hook behavior and failure modes.

Guardrails

  • Keep plugin scope narrow and explicit.
  • Avoid heavy side effects in hot hooks.
  • For compiler plugins, preserve code correctness and source maps when transforming.
