care_scaffold

Everything an AI coding agent needs to build a CARE plugin from scratch — in one prompt.

CARE supports plugins on both sides of the stack:

• Backend — a standalone Django app, pip-installed into care and registered in plug_config.py.
• Frontend — a standalone Vite app, loaded into care_fe at runtime via Module Federation.

Done properly, a plugin adds a complete vertical feature without forking core. This repo encodes "done properly" as machine-readable skills plus runnable templates.

Quick start

Open an agent (Copilot / Claude Code / Codex) in an empty directory and give it:

Follow the instructions in https://github.com/ohcnetwork/plugin_scaffold/blob/main/bootstrap.prompt.md

Or, with this repo already cloned:

Read and execute ./bootstrap.prompt.md

The agent will clone core care + care_fe, bring up Postgres/Redis/LiveKit-free dev services, install the skills into your workspace, scaffold your plugin from templates/, wire it into both cores, and verify it end to end.

What's in here

Path	Purpose
bootstrap.prompt.md	The single entrypoint prompt. Sets up core + scaffolds a plugin.
AGENTS.md	Orientation for any agent that opens this repo directly.
skills/	Nine SKILL.md files — the actual plugin-building knowledge.
templates/backend/	Runnable Django plugin skeleton (__PLUGIN_SNAKE__).
templates/frontend/	Runnable federated Vite plugin skeleton (__PLUGIN_FE__).
scripts/new-plugin.sh	Materializes both templates with your plugin's name.
reference/	Worked example: the LiveKit teleconsultation plugin, start to finish.

The prime directive

Minimal overlap with core. A plugin owns its own models, migrations, API surface, UI and i18n keys. The only acceptable change to care or care_fe is adding a generic, reusable extension point — never plugin-specific logic.

Read skills/care-plugin-architecture/SKILL.md first; it links out to the rest.
