Develop

npm run dev runs lms dev, which validates manifest.json, installs dependencies if needed, and watches for changes.

manifest.json uses "owner": "jason"; change it if your LM Studio Hub username differs.

Publish to LM Studio Hub

lms push rejects nested .gitignore files anywhere under the plugin folder. The vendored reference/exif-sniffer/ tree must not include its own .gitignore (only the repo root file is allowed).

lms push talks to the LM Studio app on your machine (it starts or connects to the local daemon). Run:

Optional: lms push -y --description "Short public description" and --write-revision to bump revision in manifest.json after a successful upload. See Sharing Plugins.

Test

Runs tsc then Node’s built-in test runner against tests/*.cjs (imports compiled dist/).

Layout

• src/ — plugin sources (index.ts, toolsProvider.ts, metadata/fs/fetch helpers).
• reference/exif-sniffer/ — read-only copy of the Python project for parity while porting (see PORTING.md).
