+# Slither, Plugin Example
+
+This repo contains an example of plugin for Slither.
+
+See the [detector documentation](https://github.com/trailofbits/slither/wiki/Adding-a-new-detector).
+
+## Architecture
+
+- `setup.py`: Contain the plugin information
+- `slither_my_plugin/__init__.py`: Contain `make_plugin()`. The function must return the list of new detectors and printers 
+- `slither_my_plugin/detectors/example.py`: Detector plugin skeleton.
+
+Once these files are updated with your plugin, you can install it:
+```
+python setup.py develop
+```
+
+We recommend to use a Python virtual environment (for example: [virtualenvwrapper](https://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)).
