Build, verify, and package an Open Walnut Plugin with the public plugin API and author CLI. Use when creating a Plugin, adding a native App or server automation, converting a legacy integration, debugging Plugin lifecycle cleanup, or preparing a Plugin release.

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

# Walnut Plugin author

Use the unified `apiVersion: 1` plugin model. Read `docs/reference/plugin-development.md` and the executable example `examples/plugins/walnut-demo` (the Walnut Plugin Demo) before writing code.

Follow the eight steps below in order. Each one has a check you can run, so you never claim a plugin works because the code looks right.

## 1. Choose the capabilities first

Decide what the plugin contributes before scaffolding, because the answer picks the template:

| The plugin needs | Capability to use | Template |
|---|---|---|
| The Personal AI to call something | `registry.tool` | `server` |
| A recurring or scheduled action | `registry.cronAction` | `server` |
| To react to sessions or tasks | `registry.hook` | `server` |
| Two-way task sync with an external system | `registry.sync` plus `sourceClaim` and `display` | `server` |
| A screen in the console | `ui.app` | `web` |
| A screen that reads server state | `ui.app` plus `registry.wsMethod` or `http.route` | `both` |
| Instructions an agent should read | a `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` directory | either |
| A namespaced slash command | `registry.command` | `server` |
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add evanzhang008/open-walnut/walnut-plugin-author@sha256:d07348568907a5ef

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.5947e29, 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.
