## What it is
A minimal Python quickstart from OpenAI for building a ChatGPT plugin, shipping a working TODO-list plugin example that runs as a local server. ChatGPT plugins have since been superseded by GPTs with actions, so the project is no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- build a chatgpt plugin quickly
- learn how chatgpt plugin manifests work
- example of exposing an api to chatgpt
- run a local plugin server for chatgpt
- understand openai plugin architecture

## When to choose
- you need a historical reference for the deprecated ChatGPT plugins protocol
- you want a minimal Python example of a plugin manifest and server

## When to avoid
- you want to build extensions for current ChatGPT - use GPTs with actions instead
- you need a maintained or production-ready integration
- you target other LLM platforms with different plugin systems

## Facets
