What extensions can I build?

Every installable extension ships a glixo.module.json manifest and declares one or more contributions under contributes.*. Required top-level manifest fields: id, name, version, protocolVersion, runtime.kind, entry.command, and at least one capabilities entry (see the Manifest reference).

Pick the type you want to build — each page has a real, copy-pasteable example.

Providers & adapters

Declarative — register a model or storage backend, no server code.

Entry fields without surprises

Glixo uses two different "entry" ideas. Keep them separate so your package works in clean installs and older hosts:

{
  "components": [{
    "id": "worker",
    "cell": "server",
    "scope": "workspace",
    "command": "node",
    "args": ["server/index.js"],
    "placement": { "kind": "workspace", "required": false }
  }],
  "contributes": {
    "agxos": {
      "apps": [{
        "id": "recorder",
        "name": "Recorder",
        "template": "app",
        "entry": "dist/app.js"
      }]
    }
  }
}

Once you've built one, see Local development to test it and Publish to ship it to the catalog.
