+name: writing-vite-devtools-integrations
+description: >
+  Creates devtools integrations for Vite using @vitejs/devtools-kit.
+  Use when building Vite plugins with devtools panels, RPC functions,
+  dock entries, shared state, or any devtools-related functionality.
+  Applies to files importing from @vitejs/devtools-kit or containing
+  devtools.setup hooks in Vite plugins.
+---
+
+# Vite DevTools Kit
+
+Build custom developer tools that integrate with Vite DevTools using `@vitejs/devtools-kit`.
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+A DevTools plugin extends a Vite plugin with a `devtools.setup(ctx)` hook. The context provides:
+
+| Property | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| `ctx.docks` | Register dock entries (iframe, action, custom-render) |
+| `ctx.views` | Host static files for UI |
+| `ctx.rpc` | Register RPC functions, broadcast to clients |
+| `ctx.rpc.sharedState` | Synchronized server-client state |
+| `ctx.viteConfig` | Resolved Vite configuration |
+| `ctx.viteServer` | Dev server instance (dev mode only) |
+| `ctx.mode` | `'dev'` or `'build'` |
+
+## Quick Start: Minimal Plugin
+
+```ts
+/// <reference types="@vitejs/devtools-kit" />
+import type { Plugin } from 'vite'
+
+export default function myPlugin(): Plugin {
+  return {
+    name: 'my-plugin',
+    devtools: {
+      setup(ctx) {
+        ctx.docks.register({
+          id: 'my-plugin',
+          title: 'My Plugin',
+          icon: 'ph:puzzle-piece-duotone',
+          type: 'iframe',
+          url: 'https://example.com/devtools',
+        })
+      },
+    },
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Quick Start: Full Integration
+
+```ts
+/// <reference types="@vitejs/devtools-kit" />
+import type { Plugin } from 'vite'
+import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url'
+import { defineRpcFunction } from '@vitejs/devtools-kit'
+
+export default function myAnalyzer(): Plugin {
+  const data = new Map<string, { size: number }>()
+
+  return {
+    name: 'my-analyzer',
+
+    // Collect data in Vite hooks
+    transform(code, id) {
+      data.set(id, { size: code.length })
+    },
+
+    devtools: {
+      setup(ctx) {
+        // 1. Host static UI
+        const clientPath = fileURLToPath(
+          new URL('../dist/client', import.meta.url)
+        )
+        ctx.views.hostStatic('/.my-analyzer/', clientPath)
+
+        // 2. Register dock entry
+        ctx.docks.register({
+          id: 'my-analyzer',
+          title: 'Analyzer',
+          icon: 'ph:chart-bar-duotone',
+          type: 'iframe',
+          url: '/.my-analyzer/',
+        })
+
+        // 3. Register RPC function
+        ctx.rpc.register(
+          defineRpcFunction({
+            name: 'my-analyzer:get-data',
+            type: 'query',
+            setup: () => ({
+              handler: async () => Array.from(data.entries()),
+            }),
+          })
+        )
+      },
+    },
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Namespacing Convention
+
+**CRITICAL**: Always prefix RPC functions, shared state keys, and dock IDs with your plugin name:
+
+```ts
+// Good - namespaced
+'my-plugin:get-modules'
+'my-plugin:state'
+
+// Bad - may conflict
+'get-modules'
+'state'
+```
+
+## Dock Entry Types
+
+| Type | Use Case |
+|------|----------|
+| `iframe` | Full UI panels, dashboards (most common) |
+| `action` | Buttons that trigger client-side scripts (inspectors, toggles) |
+| `custom-render` | Direct DOM access in panel (framework mounting) |
+
+### Iframe Entry
+
+```ts
+ctx.docks.register({
+  id: 'my-plugin',
+  title: 'My Plugin',
+  icon: 'ph:house-duotone',
+  type: 'iframe',
+  url: '/.my-plugin/',
+})
+```
+
+### Action Entry
+
+```ts
+ctx.docks.register({
+  id: 'my-inspector',
+  title: 'Inspector',
+  icon: 'ph:cursor-duotone',
+  type: 'action',
+  action: {
+    importFrom: 'my-plugin/devtools-action',
+    importName: 'default',
+  },
+})
+```
+
+### Custom Render Entry
+
+```ts
+ctx.docks.register({
+  id: 'my-custom',
+  title: 'Custom View',
+  icon: 'ph:code-duotone',
+  type: 'custom-render',
+  renderer: {
+    importFrom: 'my-plugin/devtools-renderer',
+    importName: 'default',
+  },
+})
+```
+
+## RPC Functions
+
+### Server-Side Definition
+
+```ts
+import { defineRpcFunction } from '@vitejs/devtools-kit'
+
+const getModules = defineRpcFunction({
+  name: 'my-plugin:get-modules',
+  type: 'query', // 'query' | 'action' | 'static'
+  setup: ctx => ({
+    handler: async (filter?: string) => {
+      // ctx has full DevToolsNodeContext
+      return modules.filter(m => !filter || m.includes(filter))
+    },
+  }),
+})
+
+// Register in setup
+ctx.rpc.register(getModules)
+```
+
+### Client-Side Call (iframe)
+
+```ts
+import { getDevToolsRpcClient } from '@vitejs/devtools-kit/client'
+
+const rpc = await getDevToolsRpcClient()
+const modules = await rpc.call('my-plugin:get-modules', 'src/')
+```
+
+### Client-Side Call (action/renderer script)
+
+```ts
+import type { DevToolsClientScriptContext } from '@vitejs/devtools-kit/client'
+
+export default function setup(ctx: DevToolsClientScriptContext) {
+  ctx.current.events.on('entry:activated', async () => {
+    const data = await ctx.current.rpc.call('my-plugin:get-data')
+  })
+}
+```
+
+### Broadcasting to Clients
+
+```ts
+// Server broadcasts to all clients
+ctx.rpc.broadcast({
+  method: 'my-plugin:on-update',
+  args: [{ changedFile: '/src/main.ts' }],
+})
+```
+
+## Type Safety
+
+Extend the DevTools Kit interfaces for full type checking:
+
+```ts
+// src/types.ts
+import '@vitejs/devtools-kit'
+
+declare module '@vitejs/devtools-kit' {
+  interface DevToolsRpcServerFunctions {
+    'my-plugin:get-modules': (filter?: string) => Promise<Module[]>
+  }
+
+  interface DevToolsRpcClientFunctions {
+    'my-plugin:on-update': (data: { changedFile: string }) => void
+  }
+
+  interface DevToolsRpcSharedStates {
+    'my-plugin:state': MyPluginState
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Shared State
+
+### Server-Side
+
+```ts
+const state = await ctx.rpc.sharedState.get('my-plugin:state', {
+  initialValue: { count: 0, items: [] },
+})
+
+// Read
+console.log(state.value())
+
+// Mutate (auto-syncs to clients)
+state.mutate((draft) => {
+  draft.count += 1
+  draft.items.push('new item')
+})
+```
+
+### Client-Side
+
+```ts
+const client = await getDevToolsRpcClient()
+const state = await client.rpc.sharedState.get('my-plugin:state')
+
+// Read
+console.log(state.value())
+
+// Subscribe to changes
+state.on('updated', (newState) => {
+  console.log('State updated:', newState)
+})
+```
+
+## Client Scripts
+
+For action buttons and custom renderers:
+
+```ts
+// src/devtools-action.ts
+import type { DevToolsClientScriptContext } from '@vitejs/devtools-kit/client'
+
+export default function setup(ctx: DevToolsClientScriptContext) {
+  ctx.current.events.on('entry:activated', () => {
+    console.log('Action activated')
+    // Your inspector/tool logic here
+  })
+
+  ctx.current.events.on('entry:deactivated', () => {
+    console.log('Action deactivated')
+    // Cleanup
+  })
+}
+```
+
+Export from package.json:
+
+```json
+{
+  "exports": {
+    ".": "./dist/index.mjs",
+    "./devtools-action": "./dist/devtools-action.mjs"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always namespace** - Prefix all identifiers with your plugin name
+2. **Use type augmentation** - Extend `DevToolsRpcServerFunctions` for type-safe RPC
+3. **Keep state serializable** - No functions or circular references in shared state
+4. **Batch mutations** - Use single `mutate()` call for multiple changes
+5. **Host static files** - Use `ctx.views.hostStatic()` for your UI assets
+6. **Use Iconify icons** - Prefer `ph:*` (Phosphor) icons: `icon: 'ph:chart-bar-duotone'`

+# Dock Entry Types
+
+Detailed configuration for each dock entry type.
+
+## Common Properties
+
+All dock entries share these properties:
+
+```ts
+interface DockEntryBase {
+  id: string // Unique identifier
+  title: string // Display title
+  icon: string // URL, data URI, or Iconify name
+  category?: string // Grouping category
+  defaultOrder?: number // Sort order (higher = earlier)
+  isHidden?: boolean // Hide from dock
+}
+```
+
+## Icons
+
+<!-- eslint-skip -->
+
+```ts
+// Iconify (recommended)
+icon: 'ph:chart-bar-duotone'  // Phosphor Icons
+icon: 'carbon:analytics'       // Carbon Icons
+icon: 'mdi:view-dashboard'     // Material Design
+
+// URL
+icon: 'https://example.com/logo.svg'
+
+// Data URI
+icon: 'data:image/svg+xml,<svg>...</svg>'
+
+// Light/dark variants
+icon: {
+  light: 'https://example.com/logo-light.svg',
+  dark: 'https://example.com/logo-dark.svg',
+}
+```
+
+Browse icons at [Iconify](https://icon-sets.iconify.design/).
+
+## Iframe Entries
+
+Most common type. Displays your UI in an isolated iframe.
+
+```ts
+interface IframeEntry extends DockEntryBase {
+  type: 'iframe'
+  url: string // URL to load
+  frameId?: string // Share iframe between entries
+  clientScript?: ClientScriptEntry // Optional client script
+}
+
+// Example
+ctx.docks.register({
+  id: 'my-plugin',
+  title: 'My Plugin',
+  icon: 'ph:house-duotone',
+  type: 'iframe',
+  url: '/.my-plugin/',
+})
+```
+
+### Hosting Your Own UI
+
+```ts
+import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url'
+
+const clientDist = fileURLToPath(
+  new URL('../dist/client', import.meta.url)
+)
+
+ctx.views.hostStatic('/.my-plugin/', clientDist)
+
+ctx.docks.register({
+  id: 'my-plugin',
+  title: 'My Plugin',
+  icon: 'ph:house-duotone',
+  type: 'iframe',
+  url: '/.my-plugin/',
+})
+```
+
+## Action Entries
+
+Buttons that trigger client-side scripts. Perfect for inspectors and toggles.
+
+```ts
+interface ActionEntry extends DockEntryBase {
+  type: 'action'
+  action: {
+    importFrom: string // Package export path
+    importName?: string // Export name (default: 'default')
+  }
+}
+
+// Registration
+ctx.docks.register({
+  id: 'my-inspector',
+  title: 'Inspector',
+  icon: 'ph:cursor-duotone',
+  type: 'action',
+  action: {
+    importFrom: 'my-plugin/devtools-action',
+    importName: 'default',
+  },
+})
+```
+
+### Client Script Implementation
+
+```ts
+// src/devtools-action.ts
+import type { DevToolsClientScriptContext } from '@vitejs/devtools-kit/client'
+
+export default function setup(ctx: DevToolsClientScriptContext) {
+  let overlay: HTMLElement | null = null
+
+  ctx.current.events.on('entry:activated', () => {
+    overlay = document.createElement('div')
+    overlay.style.cssText = `
+      position: fixed;
+      inset: 0;
+      cursor: crosshair;
+      z-index: 99999;
+    `
+    overlay.onclick = (e) => {
+      const target = document.elementFromPoint(e.clientX, e.clientY)
+      console.log('Selected:', target)
+    }
+    document.body.appendChild(overlay)
+  })
+
+  ctx.current.events.on('entry:deactivated', () => {
+    overlay?.remove()
+    overlay = null
+  })
+}
+```
+
+### Package Export
+
+```json
+{
+  "exports": {
+    ".": "./dist/index.mjs",
+    "./devtools-action": "./dist/devtools-action.mjs"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Custom Render Entries
+
+Render directly into the DevTools panel DOM. Use when you need direct DOM access or framework mounting.
+
+```ts
+interface CustomRenderEntry extends DockEntryBase {
+  type: 'custom-render'
+  renderer: {
+    importFrom: string
+    importName?: string
+  }
+}
+
+ctx.docks.register({
+  id: 'my-custom',
+  title: 'Custom View',
+  icon: 'ph:code-duotone',
+  type: 'custom-render',
+  renderer: {
+    importFrom: 'my-plugin/devtools-renderer',
+    importName: 'default',
+  },
+})
+```
+
+### Renderer Implementation
+
+```ts
+// src/devtools-renderer.ts
+import type { DevToolsClientScriptContext } from '@vitejs/devtools-kit/client'
+
+export default function setup(ctx: DevToolsClientScriptContext) {
+  ctx.current.events.on('dom:panel:mounted', (panel) => {
+    // Vanilla JS
+    panel.innerHTML = `<div style="padding: 16px;">Hello</div>`
+
+    // Or mount Vue
+    // import { createApp } from 'vue'
+    // import App from './App.vue'
+    // createApp(App).mount(panel)
+
+    // Or mount React
+    // import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client'
+    // createRoot(panel).render(<App />)
+  })
+}
+```
+
+## Client Script Events
+
+| Event | Payload | Description |
+|-------|---------|-------------|
+| `entry:activated` | - | Entry was selected |
+| `entry:deactivated` | - | Entry was deselected |
+| `entry:updated` | `DevToolsDockUserEntry` | Entry metadata changed |
+| `dom:panel:mounted` | `HTMLDivElement` | Panel DOM ready (custom-render only) |
+| `dom:iframe:mounted` | `HTMLIFrameElement` | Iframe mounted (iframe only) |
+
+## Category Order
+
+Default category ordering:
+
+```ts
+DEFAULT_CATEGORIES_ORDER = {
+  '~viteplus': -1000, // First
+  'default': 0,
+  'app': 100,
+  'framework': 200,
+  'web': 300,
+  'advanced': 400,
+  '~builtin': 1000, // Last
+}
+```
+
+Use `category` to group related entries:
+
+```ts
+ctx.docks.register({
+  id: 'my-plugin',
+  title: 'My Plugin',
+  icon: 'ph:house-duotone',
+  type: 'iframe',
+  url: '/.my-plugin/',
+  category: 'framework',
+})
+```

+# RPC Patterns
+
+Advanced patterns for server-client communication in DevTools integrations.
+
+## Function Types
+
+| Type | Caching | Use Case |
+|------|---------|----------|
+| `query` | Can be cached | Read operations, data fetching |
+| `action` | Never cached | Mutations, side effects |
+| `static` | Cached indefinitely | Constants, configuration |
+
+## Type-Safe RPC Setup
+
+### Step 1: Define Types
+
+```ts
+// src/types.ts
+import '@vitejs/devtools-kit'
+
+interface Module {
+  id: string
+  size: number
+  imports: string[]
+}
+
+declare module '@vitejs/devtools-kit' {
+  interface DevToolsRpcServerFunctions {
+    'my-plugin:list-modules': () => Promise<Module[]>
+    'my-plugin:get-module': (id: string) => Promise<Module | null>
+    'my-plugin:analyze': (options: { deep: boolean }) => Promise<void>
+  }
+
+  interface DevToolsRpcClientFunctions {
+    'my-plugin:highlight': (selector: string) => void
+    'my-plugin:refresh': () => void
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 2: Import Types File
+
+```ts
+// src/node/plugin.ts
+import '../types' // Side-effect import for type augmentation
+```
+
+### Step 3: Register Functions
+
+```ts
+import { defineRpcFunction } from '@vitejs/devtools-kit'
+
+const listModules = defineRpcFunction({
+  name: 'my-plugin:list-modules',
+  type: 'query',
+  setup: () => ({
+    handler: async (): Promise<Module[]> => {
+      return Array.from(moduleMap.values())
+    },
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+## Context Access in Setup
+
+The `setup` function receives the full `DevToolsNodeContext`:
+
+```ts
+defineRpcFunction({
+  name: 'my-plugin:get-config',
+  type: 'static',
+  setup: (ctx) => {
+    // Access at setup time (runs once)
+    const root = ctx.viteConfig.root
+    const isDev = ctx.mode === 'dev'
+
+    return {
+      handler: async () => ({
+        root,
+        isDev,
+        plugins: ctx.viteConfig.plugins.map(p => p.name),
+      }),
+    }
+  },
+})
+```
+
+## Broadcasting Patterns
+
+### Basic Broadcast
+
+```ts
+// Notify all clients
+ctx.rpc.broadcast({
+  method: 'my-plugin:refresh',
+  args: [],
+})
+```
+
+### Broadcast with Data
+
+```ts
+ctx.viteServer?.watcher.on('change', (file) => {
+  ctx.rpc.broadcast({
+    method: 'my-plugin:file-changed',
+    args: [{ path: file, timestamp: Date.now() }],
+  })
+})
+```
+
+### Optional Broadcast
+
+```ts
+// Won't error if no clients have registered the function
+ctx.rpc.broadcast({
+  method: 'my-plugin:optional-update',
+  args: [data],
+  optional: true,
+})
+```
+
+## Client Function Registration
+
+```ts
+// Client-side (action/renderer script)
+export default function setup(ctx: DevToolsClientScriptContext) {
+  ctx.current.rpc.client.register({
+    name: 'my-plugin:highlight',
+    type: 'action',
+    handler: (selector: string) => {
+      const el = document.querySelector(selector)
+      if (el) {
+        el.style.outline = '3px solid red'
+        setTimeout(() => {
+          el.style.outline = ''
+        }, 2000)
+      }
+    },
+  })
+}
+```
+
+## Collecting RPC Functions
+
+Organize RPC functions in a registry pattern:
+
+```ts
+import { analyzeBundle } from './functions/analyze-bundle'
+// src/node/rpc/index.ts
+import { getModules } from './functions/get-modules'
+import { getStats } from './functions/get-stats'
+
+export const rpcFunctions = [
+  getModules,
+  getStats,
+  analyzeBundle,
+] as const
+
+// Register all in setup
+for (const fn of rpcFunctions) {
+  ctx.rpc.register(fn)
+}
+```
+
+## Type Extraction Utilities
+
+```ts
+import type {
+  RpcDefinitionsFilter,
+  RpcDefinitionsToFunctions,
+} from '@vitejs/devtools-kit'
+
+// Extract all function types
+export type ServerFunctions = RpcDefinitionsToFunctions<typeof rpcFunctions>
+
+// Extract only static functions
+export type StaticFunctions = RpcDefinitionsToFunctions<
+  RpcDefinitionsFilter<typeof rpcFunctions, 'static'>
+>
+
+// Augment the global interface
+declare module '@vitejs/devtools-kit' {
+  export interface DevToolsRpcServerFunctions extends ServerFunctions {}
+}
+```

+# Shared State Patterns
+
+Synchronized state between server and all clients.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Server-Side
+
+```ts
+const state = await ctx.rpc.sharedState.get('my-plugin:state', {
+  initialValue: {
+    count: 0,
+    items: [],
+    settings: { theme: 'dark' },
+  },
+})
+
+// Read
+const current = state.value()
+
+// Mutate (syncs to all clients)
+state.mutate((draft) => {
+  draft.count += 1
+  draft.items.push({ id: Date.now(), name: 'New' })
+})
+```
+
+### Client-Side
+
+```ts
+import { getDevToolsRpcClient } from '@vitejs/devtools-kit/client'
+
+const client = await getDevToolsRpcClient()
+const state = await client.rpc.sharedState.get('my-plugin:state')
+
+// Read
+console.log(state.value())
+
+// Subscribe
+state.on('updated', (newState) => {
+  console.log('Updated:', newState)
+})
+```
+
+## Type-Safe Shared State
+
+```ts
+// src/types.ts
+interface MyPluginState {
+  count: number
+  items: Array<{ id: string, name: string }>
+  settings: {
+    theme: 'light' | 'dark'
+    notifications: boolean
+  }
+}
+
+declare module '@vitejs/devtools-kit' {
+  interface DevToolsRpcSharedStates {
+    'my-plugin:state': MyPluginState
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Vue Integration
+
+```ts
+// composables/useSharedState.ts
+import { getDevToolsRpcClient } from '@vitejs/devtools-kit/client'
+import { onMounted, shallowRef } from 'vue'
+
+export function useSharedState<T>(name: string) {
+  const state = shallowRef<T | null>(null)
+  const loading = shallowRef(true)
+
+  onMounted(async () => {
+    const client = await getDevToolsRpcClient()
+    const shared = await client.rpc.sharedState.get<T>(name)
+
+    state.value = shared.value()
+    loading.value = false
+
+    shared.on('updated', (newState) => {
+      state.value = newState
+    })
+  })
+
+  return { state, loading }
+}
+
+// Usage in component
+const { state, loading } = useSharedState<MyPluginState>('my-plugin:state')
+```
+
+### Full Vue Component Example
+
+```vue
+<script setup lang="ts">
+import { getDevToolsRpcClient } from '@vitejs/devtools-kit/client'
+import { onMounted, shallowRef } from 'vue'
+
+interface PluginState {
+  count: number
+  items: string[]
+}
+
+const state = shallowRef<PluginState | null>(null)
+
+onMounted(async () => {
+  const client = await getDevToolsRpcClient()
+  const shared = await client.rpc.sharedState.get<PluginState>('my-plugin:state')
+
+  state.value = shared.value()
+
+  shared.on('updated', (newState) => {
+    state.value = newState
+  })
+})
+</script>
+
+<template>
+  <div v-if="state">
+    <p>Count: {{ state.count }}</p>
+    <ul>
+      <li v-for="item in state.items" :key="item">
+        {{ item }}
+      </li>
+    </ul>
+  </div>
+</template>
+```
+
+## React Integration
+
+```tsx
+import { getDevToolsRpcClient } from '@vitejs/devtools-kit/client'
+import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
+
+function useSharedState<T>(name: string, fallback: T) {
+  const [state, setState] = useState<T>(fallback)
+  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true)
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    let mounted = true
+
+    async function init() {
+      const client = await getDevToolsRpcClient()
+      const shared = await client.rpc.sharedState.get<T>(name)
+
+      if (mounted) {
+        setState(shared.value() ?? fallback)
+        setLoading(false)
+
+        shared.on('updated', (newState) => {
+          if (mounted)
+            setState(newState)
+        })
+      }
+    }
+
+    init()
+    return () => {
+      mounted = false
+    }
+  }, [name])
+
+  return { state, loading }
+}
+
+// Usage
+function MyComponent() {
+  const { state, loading } = useSharedState('my-plugin:state', { count: 0 })
+
+  if (loading)
+    return <div>Loading...</div>
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      Count:
+      {state.count}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+## Svelte Integration
+
+```svelte
+<script lang="ts">
+  import { onMount } from 'svelte'
+  import { writable } from 'svelte/store'
+  import { getDevToolsRpcClient } from '@vitejs/devtools-kit/client'
+
+  interface PluginState {
+    count: number
+  }
+
+  const state = writable<PluginState>({ count: 0 })
+
+  onMount(async () => {
+    const client = await getDevToolsRpcClient()
+    const shared = await client.rpc.sharedState.get<PluginState>('my-plugin:state')
+
+    state.set(shared.value())
+
+    shared.on('updated', (newState) => {
+      state.set(newState)
+    })
+  })
+</script>
+
+<p>Count: {$state.count}</p>
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Batch Mutations
+
+```ts
+// Good - single sync event
+state.mutate((draft) => {
+  draft.count += 1
+  draft.lastUpdate = Date.now()
+  draft.items.push(newItem)
+})
+
+// Bad - multiple sync events
+state.mutate((d) => {
+  d.count += 1
+})
+state.mutate((d) => {
+  d.lastUpdate = Date.now()
+})
+state.mutate((d) => {
+  d.items.push(newItem)
+})
+```
+
+### Keep State Small
+
+For large datasets, store IDs in shared state and fetch details via RPC:
+
+<!-- eslint-skip -->
+```ts
+// Shared state (small)
+{
+  moduleIds: ['a', 'b', 'c'],
+  selectedId: 'a'
+}
+
+// Fetch full data via RPC when needed
+const module = await rpc.call('my-plugin:get-module', state.selectedId)
+```
+
+### Serializable Data Only
+
+<!-- eslint-skip -->
+```ts
+// Bad - functions can't be serialized
+{ count: 0, increment: () => {} }
+
+// Bad - circular references
+const obj = { child: null }
+obj.child = obj
+
+// Good - plain data
+{ count: 0, items: [{ id: 1 }] }
+```
+
+### Real-Time Updates Example
+
+```ts
+const plugin: Plugin = {
+  devtools: {
+    async setup(ctx) {
+      const state = await ctx.rpc.sharedState.get('my-plugin:state', {
+        initialValue: { modules: [], lastUpdate: 0 },
+      })
+
+      // Update state when Vite processes modules
+      ctx.viteServer?.watcher.on('change', (file) => {
+        state.mutate((draft) => {
+          draft.modules.push(file)
+          draft.lastUpdate = Date.now()
+        })
+      })
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
