# IdeA Plugin SDK
Public TypeScript SDK for IdeA plugins.
The SDK defines the stable manifest and runtime types used by plugins loaded by
IdeA. A plugin ships an `idea-plugin.json` manifest plus an ESM entrypoint that
exports `activate(ctx)`.
## Start Here
- [Manifest](docs/manifest.md): required fields, capabilities and contribution ids.
- [Activation And Context](docs/activation-context.md): `activate(ctx)`, lifecycle, logging, storage and subscriptions.
- [Menus](docs/menus.md): top-level menus, native menu insertion and command registration.
- [Commands And Feedback](docs/commands-and-feedback.md): command return values, skipped work and background tasks.
- [Layouts With React](docs/layouts-react.md): React/JSX/hooks layout authoring with host-provided React.
- [Windows](docs/windows.md): opening plugin layouts in detached OS windows.
- [Services](docs/services.md): workspace, tasks, tooling, events, config, terminal and windows facades.
- [Packaging And Distribution](docs/packaging-distribution.md): build output, archive layout, hot reload and dependency rules.
- [Codex Skills And IdeA Plugins](docs/codex-skills-and-idea-plugins.md): separate IdeA-native plugin skills from Codex plugin discovery.
The installable example lives in [`examples/hello-plugin`](examples/hello-plugin).
It demonstrates a menu command, storage, background-task feedback, a React layout
component and `services.windows.open(...)`.
