Package, sign, submit, review, and publish extensions through the same workflow used by official HaloForge plugins.

SDK and platform APIs

Use documented React hooks, host components, file dialogs, AI transport, and managed image gateway access without private host bridges.

Design a manifest

Define metadata, permissions, entry points, compatibility, and release information for a plugin package.

Build the frontend

Compose plugin UI with the documented frontend SDK, host components, file dialogs, and AI transport.

Add a backend

Test before publishing

Run local installation checks, compatibility checks, and package validation before sending a release through review.
