Instructions

1. Determine the plugin type from the arguments. Valid types:

   • export — Export service plugin
   • publish — Publish service plugin
   • metadata — Custom metadata plugin
   • menu — Library menu plugin

2. If the type is not specified or not recognized, ask the user which type they want.

3. Ask the user for:

   • Plugin name (e.g., "My Photo Uploader")
   • Toolkit identifier (e.g., "com.mycompany.photo-uploader")
   • Output directory (default: current directory)

4. Read the matching template from templates/<type>-plugin/ in this project.

5. Create a new .lrdevplugin folder with the template files, replacing:

   • Toolkit identifier with the user's value
   • Plugin name with the user's value
   • Logger name with a reasonable derivative of the plugin name

6. Report what was created and next steps:

   • Open Lightroom Classic
   • File > Plug-in Manager > Add
   • Navigate to the .lrdevplugin folder
   • The plugin will hot-reload on file changes
