-## Start from a template
-
-Clone this repository and copy the template that matches the plugin type you
-want to implement. For example:
-
-```bash
-git clone git@github.com:urth-inc/metatell-plugins.git
-cp -R metatell-plugins/templates/AdditionalToolbarButton /path/to/your/plugin
-cd /path/to/your/plugin
-git init
-git add .
-git commit -m "Initial commit"
-```
-
-Each template README describes its interface and development workflow.
-
-## Develop a template locally
-
-Run commands from the selected template directory:
-
-```bash
-cd templates/AdditionalToolbarButton
-npm install
-npm run dev
-```
-
-Template development servers use `http://localhost:3004` by default. Running
-`npm run dev` or `npm run build` generates a new plugin version ID in
-`.uuid.env`.
-
-Use the template's build command to create the upload artifact:
-
-```bash
-npm run build
-```
-
-The generated plugin archive is written to `dist/plugin.zip`.
