Does this skill support streaming data processing?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for both SimplePluginCommand for single values and PluginCommand for processing large datasets via PipelineData streams.

Do I need to know Rust to use this skill?

Yes, this skill is specifically designed for developers building plugins using the Rust programming language and the official nu-plugin and nu-protocol crates.

How does this skill handle Nushell version compatibility?

The skill provides guidance on matching your cargo crate versions with your installed Nushell version to ensure the protocol remains compatible during execution.

What is a Nushell plugin?

A Nushell plugin is a standalone executable written in Rust that extends Nushell with custom commands, data types, and integrations that run alongside the main shell process.

Can I test my plugins without installing them globally?

Yes, the skill covers development workflows for testing plugins directly from the target/debug directory and using the nu-plugin-test-support crate for automated unit tests.
