Creating a Backstage Plugin

When to use this skill

The user wants to bootstrap a new plugin in a Backstage repo. Either:

• They've described the plugin in free text ("I want a frontend plugin that lists my groups")
• Or they've asked generically ("scaffold a new plugin") and you should ask what they want

The flow

Always follow these steps in order. Do not run yarn new until after the user confirms the plan in step 3.

1. Capture intent

If the user already described the plugin, parse it. Otherwise ask one question:

"What kind of plugin do you want, and what should it do?"
