What types of plugins can I build with this skill?

You can build two types: Standard Plugins (template-without-ai) for general IDE utilities and AI-Integrated Plugins (template-with-ai) which include prompt management and provider selection via the IntelliAI Engine.

How does this skill handle internationalization?

It follows the IntelliJ Bundle pattern, guiding you to use .properties files for different languages and providing Java code snippets to access messages without hardcoding strings.

Does this skill help with Gradle configuration?

Yes, it provides specific build.gradle.kts configurations for the IntelliJ Platform, including dependency management for the Java plugin and AI engines.

Can I use this to add settings pages to my plugin?

Absolutely. The skill includes detailed steps for creating PersistentStateComponents and UI panels for plugin configuration that integrate directly with the IntelliJ Settings menu.
