AutomateX Plugin SDK

The author-facing SDK for building AutomateX plugins — actions, triggers, and connection types that run out-of-process under the engine's plugin host.

Install

<PackageReference Include="AutomateX.Plugin.Sdk" Version="1.0.0">
  <ExcludeAssets>runtime</ExcludeAssets>
</PackageReference>

ExcludeAssets=runtime is important: the host provides the SDK assembly at runtime, so a plugin must not ship its own copy (the same reason first-party plugins reference it with <Private>false</Private>). Package your plugin as the flat dotnet publish output zipped as <PluginName>.zip with <PluginName>.dll at the root, plus a plugin.json manifest.

Minimal action

using AutomateX.Plugin.Sdk;

public sealed record GreetConfig(string Name);
public sealed record GreetResult(string Message);

[Action("example.greet", "Greet", Description = "Returns a greeting.")]
public sealed class GreetAction : IAction<GreetConfig, GreetResult>
{
    public Task<GreetResult> ExecuteAsync(GreetConfig config, ActionContext context, CancellationToken ct = default) =>
        Task.FromResult(new GreetResult($"Hello, {config.Name}!"));
}

Manifest (plugin.json)

Ship a plugin.json at the package root so the plugin is browsable in the catalog before install:

{
  "schemaVersion": 1,
  "id": "example.greeter",
  "name": "Example.Greeter",
  "displayName": "Greeter",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "A tiny example plugin.",
  "author": "you",
  "license": "MIT",
  "minAutomateXVersion": "5.0.0",
  "capabilities": { "actions": ["example.greet"], "triggers": [], "connectionTypes": [] },
  "permissions": { "egress": [] }
}

version is the plugin's own semver — bump it only when the plugin changes. See the AutomateX repo for publishing a catalog and hosting your own plugin source.
