Package Info
The BenchWeave plugin developer SDK is the offline authoring and conformance toolkit for BenchWeave OTDP device plugins: generate a plugin project, implement and test it against SDK-supplied interfaces and scripted mocks, validate descriptor and presentation contracts offline, and prepare a reviewed release — all without importing gateway internals.
It is a separate wheel from the BenchWeave gateway, published to PyPI as benchweave-sdk, and mounted in the main BenchWeave repository at packages/sdk as a git submodule with its own CI and release cycle. Python 3.13+, SDK 0.0.2, OTDP 0.2.0 and adapter API 1.1 are the initial baseline.
Installation
Stable releases are on PyPI:
pip install benchweave-sdk
# or as an isolated CLI tool
uv tool install benchweave-sdk
# or via Homebrew (macOS and Linux)
brew install madeinoz67/tap/benchweave-sdkFor bleeding-edge work before a release, install straight from the default branch:
pip install git+https://github.com/madeinoz67/benchweave-sdk.gitTo hack on the SDK itself, clone the repository and uv sync --extra test.
Quick start
Generate an independent plugin project with one command:
benchweave-sdk new plugins/acme/model100 --package benchweave_acme_model100The generator creates a standalone project — source package, an explicitly synthetic protocol, generated mock/conformance tests, and an AI-GUIDE.md describing the design, build, test, review and release workflow. From there the path is five steps: install, generate, replace the synthetic protocol with verified device behaviour, run the checks, then prepare and approve a release. The plugin developer guide walks through each one.
Documentation
- Plugin developer guide — install, generate, implement, test, review and release a device plugin.
- API reference — the structural-typing protocols (Adapter, HostServices, OperationContext, the provisional CaptureServices) and the testing, conformance, validation, presentation and packaging surfaces.
- CLI reference —
new,check,check-ui,check-preset,preview-ui, inventory andsync-standards. - Changelog — release history.
The BenchWeave gateway, the canonical architecture and contract standards, the compatibility matrix and the device-level integration guides live in the main BenchWeave repository.
