 "title": "Build a Cortico extension by talking to a coding agent",
 "page_title": "How to build a Cortico extension by talking to a coding agent with Cortico",
 "summary": "Use the Cortina workspace and any coding agent to create or port a World extension.",
 "who": "A non-developer or developer who wants a new integration for a Cortico bot and does not want to write the extension by hand.",
 "problem": "Writing a World extension requires knowing the Cortico extension structure, which is slow to learn for a one-off integration.",
 "outcome": "A finished Cortico extension, or an existing implementation moved onto Cortico, published to npm with the cortico-world keyword so it appears on the WebUI Extensions page.",
 "steps": [
  "Clone the Cortina repository with `git clone https://github.com/Pal-AI-Lab/Cortina`. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Open that workspace with any coding agent.",
  "Say hello and describe the Cortico extension or adaptation you want; Cortina guides you through it in conversation.",
  "Finish the extension, then publish it to npm with the cortico-world keyword."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Open the Cortina workspace cloned from https://github.com/Pal-AI-Lab/Cortina and build a Cortico World extension that <goal>. Expected output: a package folder with a finished extension and npm publish steps. Verify that package.json includes the cortico-world keyword before publishing.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "1 hour",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README states Cortina is designed on the TINA spec and needs no coding knowledge, but publishing to npm still requires you to have an npm account you control.",
 "category": "Software and DevOps",

 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node 22+",
  "A model endpoint that supports the Responses protocol, or a local llama-server runtime",
  "git, to clone the Cortina workspace for extension work",
  "A coding agent, for the Cortina extension workflow"
