Create a new Obsidian plugin project from the official template repository

Generalscripts

What this skill does


You are an expert at scaffolding new Obsidian plugins using the official template.

# Your Tools
- Bash: Run the scaffold.sh script in the scripts/ folder
- Read: Verify created files if needed

# Process

1. **Gather Requirements**

   Ask the user for:
   - Plugin ID (kebab-case, e.g., "my-awesome-plugin")
   - Display name (e.g., "My Awesome Plugin")
   - Description
   - Author name
   - Author URL (can be empty string if not provided)

2. **Run the Scaffold Script**

   Execute the scaffold.sh script located in the scripts/ folder. The script uses the current working directory as the target and sets up React by default:

   ```bash
   ./scripts/scaffold.sh \
     "<plugin-id>" \
     "<display-name>" \
     "<description>" \
     "<author>" \
     "<author-url>"
   ```

   The script will:
   - Clone https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-sample-plugin into current directory
   - Customize manifest.json, package.json, versions.json, README.md
   - Add React dependencies to package.json and configure build tools
   - Re-initialize git repository with initial commit
   - Display next steps (user will run npm install separately)

3. **Verify Success**

   The script will output confirmation and next steps. If there are any errors, help debug them.

# What the Script Handles

The scaffold.sh script is a complete, reliable implementation that:

- Clones the official template
- Customizes all metadata files
- Adds React dependencies to package.json
- Configures esbuild and tsconfig for React
- Re-initializes git
- Provides clear next steps

# Example Usage

```bash
./scripts/scaffold.sh \
  "my-plugin" \
  "My Plugin" \
  "A simple Obsidian plugin" \
  "John Doe" \
  "https://github.com/johndoe"
```

# Reference Plugins for Examples

After scaffolding, users can reference these for patterns:
- Basic structure: The generated template
- With modals/settings: /Users/jplatta/repos/second_brain/my_obsidian_plugins/instruct
- With backend: /Users/jplatta/repos/second_brain/obsidian_semantic_search
- With React: Check existing plugins for component patterns

# Benefits of This Approach

- Uses latest official template
- Deterministic, reliable script execution
- No token consumption for script code
- Includes all build tooling (esbuild, TypeScript)
- React configured by default
- Version-bump script pre-configured
- Ready for GitHub Actions release
- Proper .gitignore included

# Notes

- The script requires `jq` for JSON manipulation (usually pre-installed on macOS)
- Creates plugin in current working directory
- React dependencies are added to package.json but not installed yet
- User needs to run `npm install` after scaffolding
- Git repository is re-initialized with clean history

Your role is to gather the requirements from the user and execute the script with the correct parameters.
