In `@README.md`:
- Around line 46-65: Update the “Building with Claude Code (build-plugin skill)”
section in README to add the REST-only limitation: the build-plugin skill should
be described as applicable only to web API/REST-based plugins, and readers
should be told to stop or choose another path if the target service does not
expose a usable REST API. Keep the existing flow description, but adjust the
introductory text near the build-plugin mention so it does not imply the skill
works for non-REST integrations.

| ### Building with Claude Code (build-plugin skill) | ||
|
|
||
| If you have access to [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code), the `build-plugin` skill can guide you through building a plugin from scratch — from exploring the API all the way to a deployed, tested plugin with dashboards. | ||
|
|
||
| **What it does** | ||
|
|
||
| The skill walks you through the full process in structured phases: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Explores the target API and plans the plugin structure with you | ||
| 2. Scaffolds all the required files | ||
| 3. Deploys a working version of your plugin early, then pauses for you to authenticate it (OAuth, API key, or whatever the service uses) | ||
| 4. Tests imports and indexes objects so real data is flowing before the plugin is finished | ||
| 5. Builds and tests each data stream against live data as it goes | ||
| 6. Authors out-of-the-box dashboards | ||
|
|
||
| **Prerequisites** | ||
|
|
||
| - [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) installed | ||
| - The `squaredup` CLI installed and logged in (`npm i -g @squaredup/cli`, then `squaredup login`) | ||
| - A SquaredUp tenant where you can add and authenticate the plugin |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Add the REST-only scope caveat.
The upstream skill is explicitly limited to web API-based plugins and says to stop if the target tool has no usable REST API. Without that note, this README overstates when the skill applies.
