+
+In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of building your first extension and integrating it into Jan.
+
+## Steps to Create Your First Extension
+
+To create your own extension, you can follow the steps below:
+
+1. Click the **Use this template** button at the top of the [extension-template repository](https://github.com/janhq/extension-template).
+2. Select **Create a new repository**.
+3. Choose an owner and name for your new repository.
+4. Click **Create repository**.
+5. Clone your new repository to your local machine.
+
+## Initial Setup
+
+After you have cloned the repository to your local machine or codespace, you will need to perform some initial setup steps before you can develop your extension.
+
+:::info
+
+You will need to have a reasonably modern version of [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) handy. If you are using a version manager like [`nodenv`](https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv) or [`nvm`](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm), you can run `nodenv install` in the root of your repository to install the version specified in
+[`package.json`](https://github.com/janhq/extension-template/blob/main/package.json). Otherwise, 20.x or later should work!
+
+:::
+
+1. :hammer_and_wrench: Install the dependencies
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+2. :building_construction: Package the TypeScript for distribution
+
+```bash
+npm run bundle
+```
+
+3. :white_check_mark: Check your artifact
+
+There will be a `.tgz` file in your extension directory now. This is the file you will need to import into Jan. You can import this file into Jan by following the instructions in the [Import Extension](https://jan.ai/guides/using-extensions/import-extensions/) guide.
+
+## Update the Extension Metadata
+
+The [`package.json`](https://github.com/janhq/extension-template/blob/main/package.json) file defines metadata about your extension, such as extension name, main entry, description and version.
+
+When you copy this repository, update `package.json` with the name, and description for your extension.
+
+## Update the Extension Code
+
+The [`src/`](https://github.com/janhq/extension-template/tree/main/src) directory is the heart of your extension! This contains the source code that will be run when your extension extension functions are invoked. You can replace the contents of this directory with your own code.
+
+There are a few things to keep in mind when writing your extension code:
+
+- Most Jan Extension functions are processed asynchronously.
+  In `index.ts`, you will see that the extension function will return a `Promise<any>`.
+
+  ```typescript
+  import { core } from "@janhq/core";
+
+  function onStart(): Promise<any> {
+    return core.invokePluginFunc(MODULE_PATH, "run", 0);
+  }
+  ```
+
+For more information about the Jan Extension Core module, see the [documentation](https://github.com/janhq/jan/blob/main/core/README.md).
+
+Now, go ahead and start customizing your extension! Happy coding!

+## Configure Extension Settings
+
+You can configure the extension settings by modifying the `extensions.json` file under the `~/jan/extensions` directory including the following configurations:
+
+- `_active`: true means the extension is enabled. If you want to disable an extension, you can set it to false.
+- `listeners`: {} is the default value for listeners.
+- `origin`: the path to the extension file.
+- `installOptions`: configure the installOptions with version and fullMetadata.
+- `name`: the name of the extension.
+- `version`: the version of the extension.
+- `main`: the path to the main file of the extension.
+- `description`: the description of the extension.
+- `url`: the url of the extension.
