+
+The creation of custom actions in Backstage has never been easier thanks to the Backstage CLI. This tool streamlines the setup process, allowing you to focus on your actions' unique functionality.

+Start by using the `yarn backstage-cli new` command to generate a scaffolder module. This command sets up the necessary boilerplate code, providing a smooth start:
+

+  plugin-common - A new isomorphic common plugin package
+  plugin-node - A new Node.js library plugin package
+  plugin-react - A new web library plugin package
