dryade-plugins-sdk 1.1.5

Dryade plugin SDK — Protocol contracts and author tooling primitives

dryade-plugins-sdk

Pure-Protocol Python SDK for authoring Dryade plugins.
Zero host-runtime imports. Hash-conformant. MIT-licensed.

Why dryade-plugins-sdk

• Sovereign — author plugins that ship to self-hosted Dryade installs. No cloud lock-in.
• Type-safe — Python Protocol + @runtime_checkable. Your IDE catches contract violations before runtime does.
• Hermetic — develop and test plugins without installing Dryade. The SDK ships its own test fixtures.

Quickstart

uv tool install 'dryade-plugins-sdk[cli]'
dryade plugin new my_plugin --tier starter
cd my_plugin
dryade plugin validate
dryade plugin package

Five commands. Your .dryadepkg is ready to submit to the Dryade marketplace or share directly.

Used by

The Dryade team's first-party plugins are authored with this SDK. Browse the examples directory for 5 reference plugins covering tools, LLM calls, UI bundles, and multi-agent patterns.

Examples

• hello_world/ — minimal Plugin skeleton
• with_tool/ — register a tool the host LLM can call
• with_llm/ — tool that calls the host LLM via the Leash protocol
• with_ui/ — ships a React UI bundle the workbench mounts
• multi_agent/ — two agents collaborate via shared KV

Start a new plugin from the template starter repo:

gh repo create my-plugin --template DryadeAI/dryade-plugin-template

Publishing to the marketplace

Authoring a plugin is free. Submitting it to the Dryade marketplace is free. Where you'll see numbers:

• Listing — free for every tier. There is no per-listing fee.
• Free / community plugins — list and distribute at no cost. Author keeps full attribution; no revenue share.
• Paid plugins (team and enterprise tiers) — Dryade takes a 30% platform fee; the author keeps 70% of net (after payment processor + tax).
• Payouts — monthly via Stripe Connect once your accumulated balance crosses $50. Authors in non-Stripe geographies can opt into bank transfer at the same threshold.
• Review SLA — first submission: 5 business days. Updates to an already-approved plugin: 24 hours. Security patches: expedited to next business day.

The review checks: manifest validates against the v2 schema; the .dryadepkg is signed with a registered author key; the plugin passes the smoke test in examples/; no leaks of internal Dryade symbols or credentials.

For exact terms, marketplace SLAs, or large-deal carve-outs (volume rebates, enterprise reseller, sovereign deployments): email [e-mail].
