+# RuneLite Plugin Development — Agent Guidelines
+
+## Logging
+
+- Use `log.debug()` for developer/diagnostic logging.
+- Do not use `log.info` for per-frame or per-event logging - RuneLite runs at INFO level in production, so high-frequency info logs will pollute user logs. `log.info()` is fine for one-time startup/shutdown messages or infrequent events.
+
+## Threading & Concurrency
+
+- Never use `Thread.sleep()`.
+- Never block on `shutDown()` or `startUp()` — don't call `executor.awaitTermination()` in shutdown, just use `shutdownNow()`.
+- Never do blocking network IO or disk IO on the client thread. The OkHttp thread pool can be used for blocking network requests.
+  If you need to call back into `client` from the okhttp threadpool, such as from the response queued with `enqueue()`, use `clientThread.invoke()`
+- Explicitly cancel scheduled tasks (e.g. `ScheduledFuture`) on shutdown, in addition to shutting down the executor.
+- For batching async work, use `CompletableFuture.allOf()` — not `CountDownLatch`.
+- If you must use `Process.waitFor()`, always pass a reasonable timeout.
+
+## Performance
+
+- Don't scan the entire scene every tick or frame. Use events such as object and npc (de)spawn to track what you care about and maintain your own collection.
+- Keep the computations in Overlays, which are run each frame, to a minimum.
+
+## API Usage
+
+- Use `net.runelite.api.gameval` package constants — `ItemID`, `InterfaceID`, `ObjectID`, etc. Never hardcode magic numbers when gameval constants can be used instead.
+- Use `LinkBrowser` to open URLs, not `java.awt.Desktop`
+- When looking up Widgets, pass the component ID from gamevals (eg `client.getWidget(InterfaceID.DomEndLevelUi.LOOT_VALUE)`) - do not manually combine interface + component child IDs.
+- Use of Java reflection is forbidden.
+
+## HTTP & JSON
+
+- Use OkHttp for all HTTP requests. `@Inject OkHttpClient` to get the HTTP client. Do not use `HttpURLConnection`, `java.net.http.HttpClient`, or Apache HttpClient.
+- Use `@Inject Gson` to get a Gson instead, never create your own from scratch. You can use `.newBuilder()` to create one derived from the base `Gson.`
+- Do not add transitive dependencies from `runelite-client` directly to `build.gradle`, such as gson, guice, or okhttp.
+- Never execute okhttp calls on the client thread. Prefer using `enqueue()` which places the request on the okhttp threadpool.
+
+## File I/O
+
+- Only read/write files inside the `.runelite` directory. Create a subdirectory for your plugin (e.g. `.runelite/your-plugin-name/`) if you need to store data on disk.
+- Use `RuneLite.RUNELITE_DIR` to get the path.
+- Alternatively, use `JFileChooser` for user-initiated file operations.
+
+## Config
+
+- Config group names must be specific — e.g. `"deadman-prices"`, not `"deadman"`.
+- Never rename a config key or config group without providing a migration. Renaming silently resets users' saved settings.
+- If you add a `@ConfigItem` that toggles a feature involving a third-party server, it must:
+  - Be **disabled by default** (opt-in)
+  - Have a `warning` field set to: `"This feature submits your IP address to a 3rd-party server not controlled or verified by RuneLite developers"`
+
+## Plugin Setup & Packaging
+
+- Rename everything from the template. Do not leave `com.example`, `ExamplePlugin`, `ExampleConfig`, or `example` as the config group. Rename the package path, class names, config group, `build.gradle` group, `settings.gradle` project name, and `runelite-plugin.properties`.
+- Do not include a `META-INF/services/net.runelite.client.plugins.Plugin` file.
+- Do not commit build artifacts — no `.class` files, `out/` directories, or `.tmp` directories.
+- `build.gradle` must target Java 11** and match the structure of the example-plugin template.
+- Retain a permissive license, such as BSD-2.
+
+## Resources & Assets
+
+- Optimize icon PNGs. Java loads images at full resolution in memory (`width × height × 4` bytes), so a seemingly small file can use significant memory.
+- Ensure PNGs are actually PNGs — do not rename JPEGs or ICOs to `.png`.
+
+## Cleanup
+
+- Remove unused config classes, fields, and imports.
+- Clean up subscriptions, listeners, and overlays in `shutDown()`.
+- Do not mix code reformatting with feature changes in the same commit — it makes diffs unreadable for reviewers.
+
+## Testing
+
+You cannot verify plugin behavior yourself. Even if you have screen-capture or computer-use tools available, **do not use them to interact with RuneScape** — automating game input violates Jagex's third-party client guidelines and will get the user's account banned. Only the user can confirm a plugin works in-game.
+
+After completing a task, do not declare it done. Instead:
+
+1. Offer to launch RuneLite for the user by running `./gradlew run` from the plugin's root directory.
+2. Instruct the user to follow the "Using Jagex Accounts" instructions found at https://github.com/runelite/runelite/wiki/Using-Jagex-Accounts to login to the development client.
+3. Tell the user *what to test* — the specific behavior you changed, the golden path, and any edge cases worth exercising.
+4. Wait for the user to confirm the feature works in-game before considering the task complete. A clean JVM start is not a passing test.
