Then ask your AI: use the Create a plugin skill

About this capability

Scaffold a new encapsulated Zen Cart plugin under zc_plugins (manifest, installer, catalog/admin layout, PSR-4 namespaces, filename constants, enablement for testing). Use when asked to build, scaffold, or add a plugin, an admin page, an observer, or a payment/shipping/order-total module as a plugin
