Skill instructions
Plugin Discovery & Abstractions The Pattern Problem: You have a tool that needs to support multiple backends (e.g., GitHub vs a self-hosted git server), load user-installed plugins (custom implementations), and validate dynamically-generated forms against schemas that change based on user actions. Approach: Two-tier plugin discovery (entry points + file-based registry), a frozen dataclass provider abstraction with auto-derived URLs, and schema-driven validation with function-call evaluation. Pattern proven in production across multiple Python CLI tools and web services. Key Design Decisions 1. Two-tier plugin discovery: entry points + file-based registry Plugins are discovered at runtime via importlib.metadata.entrypoints(): python def loadplugin(name: str) - object | None: """Load a plugin by name via entrypoints.""" try: eps = entrypoints(group="mytool.plugins") for ep in eps: if ep.name == name: pluginclass = ep.load() return pluginclass() except Exception: logger.debug("Failed to d
