Can I define custom settings for my plugin?

Yes, the skill helps you declare a settings schema in the manifest so users can configure your plugin via the IDA CLI or GUI.

Which versions of IDA Pro is this compatible with?

This skill is designed for the modern plugin management system introduced in IDA Pro 9.0 and later versions.

How does the skill handle plugin directory structures?

The skill verifies that all plugin code and assets are located within the same directory as the manifest, as files outside this 'plugin root' are ignored during installation.

What is the purpose of the ida-plugin.json file?

It is the essential manifest file that defines the plugin's metadata, root directory, entry point, and dependencies for indexing and installation by the IDA Plugin Manager.

Does it support both Python and native plugins?

Yes, it provides specific guidance for Python script packaging (including PEP 723 support) and native binary packaging using platform-agnostic bare name conventions.
