How to create addon create_package.py?

I want to create an addon that adds a delete product option to the context menu in the Ayon client browser. The first step is creating the package. How should I write it? Or should I use an existing one from the core, for example?

I’d say, use an existing one - or even better start your addon from one of the addon templates. @mustafa_jafar can likely best point you to the best suited one in this case.

You’ll need to create your studio addon, add extra plugins to it and implement your script as a loader plugin.

I think this one can be the closest example for your use case with different example configurations that work.

and you may replace publish with load here

github.com/ynput/example-studio-addon

client/my_studio_addon/addon.py

          def get_plugin_paths(self):
              return {
                  "publish": [
                      os.path.join(MY_STUDIO_ADDON_ROOT, "plugins", "publish")
                  ]
              }

and then you can take reference for writing a load plugin from core plugins
