 "page_title": "How to build a plugin tool that loads into every rpi session with Pi Rust",
 "summary": "Write a cdylib plugin with rpi-plugin-sdk so the global rpi binary loads your tool.",
 "who": "A developer who wants a custom tool or provider available in every rpi session without forking the CLI.",
 "problem": "Adding a tool to a coding agent usually means changing its core code and maintaining a separate fork.",
 "outcome": "A compiled plugin library that the global rpi loads alongside the built-in tools.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `git clone https://github.com/bigfish1913/pi-rust.git`",
  "Open examples/plugin-stub and read how it uses rpi-plugin-sdk",
  "Run `cargo build -p plugin-stub` from the repository root to build the cdylib (inferred, check the README)",
  "Place the built library where the rpi plugin loader expects it, following docs/agent/project-structure.md"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the bigfish1913/pi-rust repository, copy examples/plugin-stub into <new-plugin-folder>, implement one tool in it, and build it as a cdylib. Expected output: a compiled shared library that rpi can load. Verify that `rpi --version` still runs after the plugin is placed in the loader path.",

 "time": "90 minutes",
