Create New Plugin (iPlug2OOS)

Use this skill when the user wants to create a new plugin project in this out-of-source repository.

Workflow

1. Gather project details:

- Plugin name (required): No spaces or special characters - Manufacturer name (required): No spaces

1. Check for existing projects:

- If other project folders exist besides TemplateProject, ask if user wants to continue with existing work or create new

1. Run duplicate script:

``bash ./duplicate.py TemplateProject [PluginName] [ManufacturerName] ``

1. Offer config.h customization:

- PLUGUNIQUEID - Verify the auto-generated 4-char ID - PLUGMFRID - Set manufacturer's 4-char ID - Copyright, URLs - allow skipping for later

1. Ask about committing:

``bash git add [PluginName]/ git add .vscode/ git add .github/* git add bump_version.py git commit -m "created [PluginName] based on TemplateProject" ``

1. Next steps:

- Open in Xcode: open [PluginName]/[PluginName].xcworkspace - Build: Use the build skill from iPlug2 - Setup SDKs: Use the setup-deps skill if needed

Example

./duplicate.py TemplateProject MySynth MyBrand

Creates MySynth/ with all project files configured and ready to build.
