Build a Plugin

Use this skill when a user wants to package reusable NeMo Relay runtime behavior behind plugin configuration. Keep reusable plugin behavior separate from one-off application startup code.

Use This When

Use this skill when the behavior should be activated by shared config and reused across applications, teams, or process startup paths.

Common cases:

• Register subscribers, guardrails, intercepts, or a small bundle of related runtime behavior.
• Validate operator-supplied config before changing runtime behavior.
• Give reusable behavior a stable plugin kind and activation lifecycle.
• Package behavior that should be enabled, disabled, or rolled out through plugin config rather than repeated application startup code.
