 The `console-dynamic-plugin-sdk` is a key part of this repository - it's the public API that enables OpenShift Console's extensibility.
 
 ## Key Packages & Areas
+
+**Core Packages:**
 - **console-dynamic-plugin-sdk**: Public API for external plugins (⚠️ breaking changes require careful vetting)
-- **dev-console**: Developer perspective, topology, add flows
-- **pipelines-plugin**: Tekton pipelines integration
-- **knative-plugin**: Serverless/Knative support
-- **helm-plugin**: Helm chart management
-- **topology**: Application topology views
+- **console-app**: Main application that loads all plugins
 - **console-shared**: Shared utilities and components
+- **console-internal**: Core UI and Kubernetes integration
+
+**Dynamic Plugins:**
+For the complete list of console plugins, see `console-app/package.json` dependencies. Static plugins (built-in) may be deprecated or extracted over time.
 
 - **Extension Points System**: 25+ extension types (NavItem, Page, ResourceListPage, DashboardsCard, etc.)
 - **Module Federation**: Runtime plugin loading via Webpack Module Federation
 - **Type Safety**: Comprehensive TypeScript definitions for all extension points
 - **Code References**: Lazy loading with `$codeRef` for performance
   
-### Key Extension Types (reference)
+### Extension Types
+
+OpenShift Console provides 75+ extension types for plugin integration. **For comprehensive documentation, see [frontend/packages/console-dynamic-plugin-sdk/README.md](frontend/packages/console-dynamic-plugin-sdk/README.md).**
+
+Additional resources:
+- [Extension type reference](frontend/packages/console-dynamic-plugin-sdk/docs/console-extensions.md) - Full type definitions, naming convention (`console.*`), and deprecation notices
+- [API documentation](frontend/packages/console-dynamic-plugin-sdk/docs/api.md) - React components, hooks, and utilities

 ### Plugin Structure
-```typescript
-// GOOD – Dynamic extensions (runtime-loaded)
-export const plugin: Plugin = [
+
+Dynamic plugins define their extensions in a `console-extensions.json` file (JSONC format) located in the plugin package root. Extension types use the naming convention `console.foo/bar`.
+
+**Example `console-extensions.json`:**
+```json
+[
   {
-    type: 'Page',
-    properties: {
-      exact: true,
-      path: '/my-plugin-page',
-      component: { $codeRef: 'MyPluginPage' },  // Lazy-load reference
-    },
+    "type": "console.page/route",
+    "properties": {
+      "exact": true,
+      "path": "/my-plugin-page",
+      "component": { "$codeRef": "MyPluginPage" }
+    }
   },
   {
-    type: 'NavItem',
-    properties: {
-      section: 'home',
-      componentProps: { name: 'My Plugin', href: '/my-plugin-page' },
-    },
+    "type": "console.navigation/href",
+    "properties": {
+      "id": "my-plugin-nav",
+      "name": "My Plugin",
+      "href": "/my-plugin-page",
+      "section": "home"
+    }
   },
-];
-
-// BAD – Static (avoid—breaks extensibility)
-export const staticPlugin = { extensions: [...] };
+  {
+    "type": "console.perspective",
+    "properties": {
+      "id": "my-perspective",
+      "name": "%my-plugin~My Perspective%",
+      "icon": { "$codeRef": "perspective.icon" },
+      "landingPageURL": { "$codeRef": "perspective.getLandingPageURL" }
+    }
+  }
+]
 ```
 
+**Key Concepts:**
+- **File Location**: `console-extensions.json` in package root (e.g., `frontend/packages/my-plugin/console-extensions.json`)
+- **Type Naming**: `console.*` convention (e.g., `console.page/route`, `console.navigation/href`, `console.dashboards/card`)
+- **Code References**: Use `$codeRef` to lazily load components and functions for performance
+- **i18n**: Use `%namespace~key%` format for translatable strings (e.g., `"%my-plugin~My Label%"`)
+
+**Real-world examples:** See `console-extensions.json` files in `frontend/packages/dev-console/`, `frontend/packages/helm-plugin/`, etc.

 ### ⚠️ Public API Sources - Breaking Change Risk
-The dynamic plugin SDK re-exports APIs from multiple Console packages. **Changing these source modules could inadvertently break the public API**:

-- **Hooks**: `useUtilizationDuration`, `useDashboardResources`, `useUserSettings`, `useAnnotationsModal`, `useDeleteModal`, `useLabelsModal`, `useActiveNamespace`, `useQuickStartContext`

-- **Editors**: `YAMLEditor`, `CodeEditor`, `ResourceYAMLEditor`
-- **Hooks**: `useActiveColumns`, `useListPageFilter`, `usePrometheusPoll`, `useURLPoll`
-- **K8s Utilities**: Redux store access, HTTP utilities
 
-#### APIs Re-exported from `@console/plugin-sdk`
-- **Extension System**: `useExtensions` (via `useResolvedExtensions`)
-- **Plugin Infrastructure**: Plugin loading, subscription services, store management

+- **`@console/internal`** - Core UI, editors, hooks, K8s utilities
+- **`@console/plugin-sdk`** - Extension system, plugin infrastructure
+- **`@console/app`** - Application context
+- **`@console/topology`** - Topology components, data transforms, graph views
 
-#### APIs Re-exported from `@console/app`

+**BEFORE MODIFYING ANYTHING IN THESE OR OTHER PACKAGES:** Verify SDK re-exports by checking `frontend/packages/console-dynamic-plugin-sdk/src/api/internal-*.ts` files to avoid breaking the public API.

 ### Development Guidelines
+
+**SDK-Specific:**
 - Always consider impact on external plugin developers
-- Extensive testing required for any API changes
-- Clear deprecation paths with version-based removal
+- Maintain backward compatibility as it's a public API
 - Comprehensive documentation for all public APIs
-- Performance monitoring for plugin loading
