How to Add a New Extension

Complete guide for creating extensions in Voiden.

Note: This guide covers the auto-discovery system. Extensions are automatically found via manifest.json - no manual registration needed!

Quick Start

# 1. Create extension folder
mkdir packages/core-extensions/src/my-extension

# 2. Add manifest.json
# 3. Create index.ts
# 4. Build and restart
yarn workspace @voiden/core-extensions build

That's it! Your extension auto-loads on next app start.

• 🔌 SDK-powered - Use SDK APIs, not app imports
• ✨ Auto-discovered - Just add manifest.json and build!
• 🔄 Auto-synced - Metadata syncs to user state on startup
