# Obsidian Core Workflow A: Create a Plugin from Scratch
## Overview
Build a complete Obsidian plugin from an empty directory. By the end you will have a
working plugin with a ribbon icon, command palette entries, a settings tab, and a
production esbuild build. Every file is shown in full -- no stubs.
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ installed
- Obsidian desktop app installed
- A vault to test in (create a fresh vault at `~/ObsidianDev` if needed)
## Instructions
