 # @backstage/no-mixed-plugin-imports
 
-Disallow mixed imports between backstage plugins.
+This rule ensures that imports between Backstage plugins are consistent with their intended usage.
+
+The rule checks the `backstage.role` field in the `package.json` of both the importing and target packages to determine if they are compatible.
+
+Plugin roles include:
+
+- `frontend-plugin` (or `frontend` for short)
+- `backend-plugin` (or `backend` for short)
+- `web-library` (or `react` for short)
+- `node-library` (or `node` for short)
+- `common-library` (or `common` for short)
+
+Prohibited imports include:
+
+- A `frontend` plugin importing directly from another `frontend`, `backend`, or `node` package. Instead, it should import from the corresponding `react` or `common` package.
+  - With an exception with the new frontend system where frontend plugins with the same plugin id are allowed to import from each other.
+- A `backend` plugin importing directly from another `backend`, `frontend`, or `react` package. Instead, it should import from the corresponding `node` or `common` package.
+- A `react` package importing from `frontend`, `backend`, or `node` packages.
+- A `node` package importing from `frontend`, `backend`, or `react` packages
+- A `common` package importing directly from any other plugin package.
