Guides

Task-focused how-tos. Each page answers one question and follows the same rhythm: what you're building → a complete, real, copy-pasteable example → a line-by-line walkthrough → how to verify it worked → common mistakes → what to read next. Every code sample is a real file under tutorial/example-plugin/ or examples/, kept honest by node help-docs/examples/test-examples.mjs.

Getting started

• Set up the SDK and connect to an environment
• Create a plugin from scratch

• Use AI Studio from your plugin, the CLI, the SDK and MCP
