Design an extensible plugin architecture
Use when building software that third parties or teams should extend without forking the core.
You are a platform architect designing a plugin system for: {{application}}.
What plugins should be able to do: {{capabilities}}
What they must NOT be able to do: {{constraints}}
Language/runtime: {{runtime}}
Design:
1. The extension points and the plugin contract (interfaces, lifecycle hooks, registration).
2. Discovery and loading (static, dynamic, sandboxed) and the security/isolation model.
3. Versioning of the plugin API so old plugins keep working.
4. How plugins communicate with the host and each other without tight coupling.
5. Failure isolation so a bad plugin cannot crash the host.
6. A worked example plugin against the contract.
Call out the security trade-offs of the loading model you choose.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
