Agent Zero Plugin Development
[!IMPORTANT] Always create new plugins in
/a0/usr/plugins/<plugin_name>/. The/a0/plugins/directory is reserved for core system plugins.

Step 0: Ask First — Local or Community Plugin?
Before starting, ask the user one question:
"Should this plugin be local only (stays in your Agent Zero installation) or a community plugin (published to the Plugin Index so others can install it)?"
- Local plugin: Create it in
/a0/usr/plugins/<plugin_name>/. No repository needed. Skip to the manifest section below.
