+# {{id}}
+
+Welcome to the {{id}} plugin!
+
+_This plugin was created through the Backstage CLI_
+
+## Getting started
+
+Your plugin has been added to the example app in this repository, meaning you'll be able to access it by running `yarn start` in the root directory, and then navigating to [/{{id}}](http://localhost:3000/{{id}}).
+
+You can also serve the plugin in isolation by running `yarn start` in the plugin directory.
+This method of serving the plugin provides quicker iteration speed and a faster startup and hot reloads.
+It is only meant for local development, and the setup for it can be found inside the [/dev](/dev) directory.
