Contribute to the official plugins
Most plugins should live in their own source — see Use your own plugin source. The official plugins repository, iyulab/filer-official-plugins, is a narrower home for a smaller set of plugins that ship bundled with Filer itself.
When a plugin belongs there
Section titled “When a plugin belongs there”A plugin fits the official repository when it’s broadly useful rather than tied to one person’s service — no third-party account of yours required to use it, or it covers a channel (Telegram, Slack, email, and the like) that a wide range of users already reach for. A plugin that talks to your own API, or serves a niche you built it for, belongs in your own source instead — that’s not a lesser path, it’s the right one for that plugin.
How to contribute
Section titled “How to contribute”This site covers how a plugin is authored — manifests, tools, hooks, permissions. The repository-specific procedure — project structure convention, lint rules, and the pull request checklist — is in CONTRIBUTING.md in that repository. Read it before opening a pull request there; it covers the parts that are specific to landing a change in that repo rather than to writing a plugin in general.
