# Obsidian Plugin Development Guidelines

Follow these comprehensive guidelines derived from the official Obsidian ESLint plugin rules, submission requirements, and best practices.

## Getting Started

### Quick Start Tool

For new plugin projects, an interactive boilerplate generator is available:
- **Script**: `tools/create-plugin.js` in the skill repository
- **Command**: Invoke `create-plugin` using your agent's method (`/create-plugin`, `$create-plugin`, or `@create-plugin`)
- Generates minimal, best-practice boilerplate with no sample code
- Detects existing projects and only adds missing files

Recommend the boilerplate generator when users ask how to create a new plugin, want to start a new project, or need help setting up the basic structure.

## Rules Reference (eslint-plugin-obsidianmd v0.4.1)

### Submission & Naming
| # | Rule | ✅ Do | ❌ Don't |
|---|------|--------|----------|
| 1 | Plugin ID | Omit "obsidian"; don't end with "plugin" | Include "obsidian" or end with "plugin" |
| 2 | Plugin name | Omit "Obsidian"; don't end with "Plugin" | Include "Obsidian" or end with "Plugin" |
| 3 | Plugin name | Don't start with "Obsi" or end with "dian" | Start with "Obsi" or end with "dian" |
| 4 | Description | Omit "Obsidian", "This plugin", etc. | Use "Obsidian" or "This plugin" |
| 5 | Description | End with `.?!)` punctuation | Leave description without terminal punctuation |

### Memory & Lifecycle
| # | Rule | ✅ Do | ❌ Don't |
|---|------|--------|----------|
| 6 | Event cleanup | Use `registerEvent()` for automatic cleanup | Register events without cleanup |
| 6a | DOM events | Use `registerDomEvent()` on the plugin or owning component | Pair `addEventListener` with manual `removeEventListener` cleanup |
| 7 | View references | Return views/components directly | Store view references in plugin properties or pass plugin as component to `MarkdownRenderer` |
| 8 | Leaf detachment | Let Obsidian handle leaf cleanup | Call `detachLeavesOfType()` in `onunload` |

### Type Safety
| # | Rule | ✅ Do | ❌ Don't |
|---|------|--------|----------|
| 9 | TFile/TFolder | Use `instanceof` for type checking | Cast to TFile/TFolder; use `any`; use `var` |
| 10 | DOM instanceof | Use `.instanceOf(T)` for DOM Nodes/UIEvents | Use `instanceof` for cross-window DOM checks |

### UI/UX
| # | Rule | ✅ Do | ❌ Don't |
|---|------|--------|----------|
| 11 | UI text | Sentence case — "Advanced settings" | Title Case — "Advanced Settings" |
| 12 | JSON locale | Sentence case in JSON locale files (`recommendedWithLocalesEn`) | Title case in locale JSON |
| 13 | TS/JS locale | Sentence case in TS/JS locale modules | Title case in locale modules |

> **Note (v0.4.0):** `ui/sentence-case` is now enabled (`warn`) and enforced on inline UI strings — it was disabled in v0.3.0. Use the `recommendedWithLocalesEn` config to also check English locale files (rules 12–13).
| 14 | Command names | Omit "command" in command names/IDs | Include "command" in names/IDs |
| 15 | Command IDs | Omit plugin ID/name from command IDs/names | Duplicate plugin ID in command IDs |
| 16 | Hotkeys | No default hotkeys | Set default hotkeys |
| 17 | Settings headings | Use `.setHeading()` | Create manual HTML headings; use "General", "settings", or plugin name in headings |

### Declarative Settings (1.13.0+)

All four `settings-tab` rules ship as `warn` in `recommended`. Rules 17a/17c/17d read `minAppVersion` from `manifest.js
