Developer guide · Kit 1.0.0

Build a plugin for Thortiq Markdown

Start with the versioned developer kit, then install the companion skill when a coding agent will help with the implementation.

The kit is the complete offline development bundle. The skill teaches a compatible coding agent where to look and which checks to run.

What the kit contains

  • Public Plugin API types and JSON schemas.
  • Templates for vanilla, React, sandboxed and live customisations.
  • Reference examples and deterministic build tooling.
  • Documentation for compatibility, security and the development lifecycle.

Keep the project outside your vault

Extract and develop the plugin in a normal project folder, not inside a Thortiq vault. Build and validate it there, then use the provided tooling to install the finished package into a personal vault.

tar -xf thortiq-plugin-kit-1.0.0.tar
cd thortiq-plugin-kit
node bootstrap.mjs \
  --name my-plugin \
  --template vanilla \
  ./my-plugin

Personal vaults only

Public plugin runtimes are personal-workspace behaviour. A package received through a shared workspace remains inert content and does not become executable because its ID, digest or signature matches.

Release metadata

Automated tools can inspect the signed, versioned release metadata before choosing an artifact.
