Meta Layer

The meta layer provides infrastructure for building, evaluating, and maintaining plugins themselves.

Purpose

While other layers focus on user-facing workflows, the meta layer focuses on:

• Plugin Development: Tools for creating new skills, commands, and hooks
• Quality Assurance: Evaluation frameworks for plugin quality
• Architecture Guidance: Patterns for modular, maintainable plugins
