In plain English

This repo is a boilerplate template that Adobe teams use as a starting point for building plugins for the Adobe I/O CLI. Instead of starting from scratch every time someone wants to add a new command to Adobe's command-line tool, they can use this as a ready-made foundation with the right structure already in place. The template gives you two ways to get started. You can create a new GitHub repository directly from Adobe's template collection on GitHub, or you can download the whole thing as a zip file, extract it, and set it up as your own fresh project. Either way, once you have the files locally, you rename things to match your new plugin, start customizing the code, and push it to a new repository. The naming convention is typically "aio-cli-plugin-xxxx" so plugins are easy to identify. The intended users are developers at Adobe or anyone building extensions for Adobe's command-line interface. For example, if a team wanted to add a set of commands for managing Adobe cloud assets or automating a publishing workflow, they would start here rather than building the scaffolding themselves. Once a plugin is built and published, end users install it through commands like "aio plugins:install" and then run it like any other CLI command. The README doesn't go into detail about what the boilerplate actually includes under the hood beyond the basic structure and usage commands. The placeholder "PLUGINNAME" appears throughout, signaling that the template is meant to be find-and-replaced with your actual plugin name. The repo is open source under the Apache 2.0 license and welcomes contributions from the community.
