Adding IDE Plugins

This guide covers how to add support for a new AI client or IDE to the Adspirer plugin system.

​
Plugin Structure

Each plugin lives in plugins/<ide-name>/ and contains: 
plugins/my-ide/
├── manifest.json          # Plugin metadata and capabilities
├── install.sh             # Installation script
├── agent-instructions/    # IDE-specific agent prompts
├── commands/              # Slash commands (if supported)
└── config/                # IDE-specific configuration files

​
Integration Steps

  1. Create the plugin directory under plugins/
  2. Define the manifest with plugin metadata, supported features, and MCP server URL
  3. Adapt shared skills from shared/skills/ to the IDE’s format
  4. Write agent instructions tailored to the IDE’s capabilities
  5. Create installation script for one-command setup
  6. Test the full workflow: install → authenticate → use tools

​
Shared Skills Integration

Plugins should reference the shared skills in shared/skills/ as their source of truth. When a shared skill is updated, plugins should regenerate their implementations.
