+# Create and publish a plugin
+
+A GitBook plugin is a node package published on NPM that follow a defined convention.
+
+## Structure
+
+#### package.json
+
+The `package.json` is a manifest format for describing **Node.js modules**. GitBook plugins are built on top of Node modules. It declares dependencies, version, ownership, and other information required to run a plugin in GitBook. This document describes the schema in detail.
+
+```
+{
+    "name": "gitbook-plugin-mytest",
+    "version": "0.0.1",
+    "description": "This is my first GitBook plugin",
+    "engines": {
+        "gitbook": ">1.x.x"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+You can learn more about `package.json` from the [NPM documentation](https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json).
+
+The **package name** must begin with `gitbook-plugin-` and the **package engines** should contains `gitbook`.
+
+#### index.js
+
+The `index.js` is main entry point of your plugin runtime:
+
+```js
+module.exports = {
+    // Map of hooks
+    hooks: {},
+
+    // Map of new blocks
+    blocks: {},
+
+    // Map of new filters
+    filters: {}
+};
+```
+
+## Publish your plugin
+
+GitBook plugins can be published on [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com).
+
+To publish a new plugin, you need to create an account on [npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com) then publish it from the command line:
+
+```
+$ npm publish
+```
+
+## Private plugins
+
+Private plugins can be hosted on GitHub and included using `git` urls:
+
+```
+{
+    "plugins": [
+        "git+https://github.com/MyCompany/mygitbookplugin.git#1.0.0"
+    ]
+}
+```
