## What it is
The official JetBrains documentation for the IntelliJ Platform SDK, hosted as a Markdown repository powering the plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij site. It guides developers through building, testing, and publishing plugins for IntelliJ IDEA and other JetBrains IDEs.

## Use cases
- learn how to develop an IntelliJ IDEA plugin
- find IntelliJ Platform SDK API documentation
- publish a plugin to the JetBrains Marketplace
- set up a Gradle build for an IntelliJ plugin
- extend JetBrains IDEs with custom features
- migrate an old IntelliJ plugin to the new IntelliJ Platform

## When to choose
- you are building or maintaining a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA or other JetBrains IDEs
- you need authoritative, up-to-date API references and tutorials for the IntelliJ Platform
- you want official code samples and best practices from JetBrains

## When to avoid
- you are developing plugins for VS Code or other non-JetBrains editors
- you need general Java or Kotlin documentation rather than IDE platform APIs
- you want a runnable tool rather than documentation

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, sdk, plugin-system, developer-tools
- domain: documentation, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: intellij-platform, jetbrains, plugin-development, sdk-docs, ide-extensions, ides
