Use when creating a new streamling plugin crate in Rust (source, sink, transform, preprocessor, UDF, or side output), or when wiring up registration macros, constructor contracts, the plugin lifecycle, the async runtime, error types, or option/secret handling. Start here before the type-specific skills.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# streamling plugin basics — Agent Skill

A streamling **plugin** is an independently compiled `cdylib` loaded at runtime via a stable ABI (`abi_stable`). A plugin crate can register any mix of six component kinds: **source**, **transform**, **sink**, **preprocessor**, **UDF**, and **side output**. This skill covers the crate skeleton, registration, the lifecycle every component shares, and the cross-cutting utilities (options, metrics, state, async runtime, errors). For the per-kind trait patterns, see the sibling skills.

**Read this first**, then jump to the specific skill:
- [`streamling-source-plugin`](skill://streamling-source-plugin)
- [`streamling-sink-plugin`](skill://streamling-sink-plugin)
- [`streamling-transform-plugin`](skill://streamling-transform-plugin)
- [`streamling-udf-plugin`](skill://streamling-udf-plugin) — custom SQL functions (DataFusion UDFs).
- [`streamling-advanced-plugins`](skill://streamling-advanced-plugins) — preprocessor, UDF, side output, multi-plugin crate, low-level FFI.

## Crate setup

A plugin is a Cargo crate compiled to `cdylib` (+ `rlib` so tests work) that depends on `streamling-plugin`.

```toml
# Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "my_plugins"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add goldsky-io/streamling/streamling-plugin-basics@sha256:790dcb9ee328bb95

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260625.ecf56ac, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
