DatoCMS Plugin Scaffold

Create smallest working first version of new plugin. Keep initial scaffold narrow, hand later edits to datocms-plugin-builder.

Step 1: Confirm scaffold mode

Silently inspect current directory.

Check for existing plugin (package.json with datocms-plugin-sdk, connect() entrypoint, Vite config). If exists and request is edit, switch to datocms-plugin-builder. Infer starting surface before asking.

Step 2: Ask only for missing essentials

Ask only when unclear:

• plugin/folder name
• private vs marketplace
• initial surface/target scope (if changes scaffold)
• currentUserAccessToken/external API needs
