+# Plugin Architecture
+
+A GitBook plugin is a NPM package that follows a defined convention.
+
+`gitbook-plugin` is a command line utility to help you create, test and release plugins.
+
+### Bootstrap your first plugin
+
+Install `gitbook-plugin` from NPM:
+
+```
+$ npm install gitbook-plugin -g
+```
+
+Then create your plugin:
+
+```
+$ gitbook-plugin create
+```
+
+You will be asked for a plugin name, and a few other things to complete the creation process.
+
+
+### Publish your plugin
