+# Plugin Development Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+The Claude Flow Plugin Development API enables developers to create custom agents, hooks, commands, and integrations that extend the platform's capabilities. This comprehensive guide covers the complete plugin ecosystem, from simple extensions to sophisticated multi-component plugins.

+
+```typescript

+```
+
+## Plugin Types
+
+### Agent Plugins
+
+Agent plugins extend the system with new agent types and capabilities.
+
+```typescript
+interface AgentPlugin extends Plugin {
+  readonly agentTypes: AgentTypeDefinition[];
+
+  createAgent(type: string, config: AgentConfig): Promise<BaseAgent>;
+  getAgentCapabilities(type: string): AgentCapability[];
+  validateAgentConfig(type: string, config: AgentConfig): ValidationResult;
+}
+
+interface AgentTypeDefinition {
+  type: string;
+  name: string;
+  description: string;
+  capabilities: AgentCapability[];
+  defaultConfig: AgentConfig;
+  category: 'development' | 'coordination' | 'analysis' | 'utility';
+  complexity: 'simple' | 'moderate' | 'complex';
+  requirements: {
+    resources: ResourceRequirements;
+    dependencies: string[];
+    permissions: string[];
+  };
+}
+
+// Example agent plugin
+class DatabaseAgentPlugin extends BasePlugin implements AgentPlugin {
+  readonly agentTypes: AgentTypeDefinition[] = [

+      ],

+      }
+    }
+  ];
+
+  async createAgent(type: string, config: AgentConfig): Promise<BaseAgent> {

+    registry.registerCommand('db:migrate', new DatabaseMigrateCommand());
+    registry.registerCommand('db:seed', new DatabaseSeedCommand());
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Hook Plugins
+
+Hook plugins add new lifecycle hooks and event handlers.
+
+```typescript
+interface HookPlugin extends Plugin {
+  readonly hooks: HookDefinition[];
+
+  createHook(hookId: string, config: HookConfig): Promise<HookRegistration>;

+  type: AgenticHookType;
+  priority: number;
+  triggers: string[];
+  configSchema: HookConfigSchema;
+}
+
+// Example hook plugin
+class SecurityHookPlugin extends BasePlugin implements HookPlugin {
+  readonly hooks: HookDefinition[] = [

+      }
+    }

+
+  async createHook(hookId: string, config: HookConfig): Promise<HookRegistration> {

+      }
+    };
+  }
+
+  private async createHookHandler(hookId: string, config: HookConfig): Promise<HookHandler> {
+    switch (hookId) {
+      case 'security-scan':
+        return async (context) => {
+          const scanner = new SecurityScanner(config);
+          const results = await scanner.scan(context.payload);
+

+        };
+
+      default:
+        throw new Error(`Unknown hook handler: ${hookId}`);
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Command Plugins
+
+Command plugins add new CLI commands and operations.
+
+```typescript

+
+### Integration Plugins
+
+Integration plugins connect Claude Flow with external systems and services.
+
+```typescript
