+# Deephaven Plugin Templates
+
+This repository contains templates for creating Deephaven plugins.
+In order to use these templates, you must have [cookiecutter](https://cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) installed.
+
+There are two main ways to use these templates.
+If you have this repository locally, you can run the following command from where you want to create your plugin:
+```sh
+cookiecutter <path/to/deephaven-plugins>/templates/<template name>
+```
+
+If you don't have this repository locally, you can run the following command:
+```sh
+cookiecutter gh:deephaven/deephaven-plugins --directory="templates/<template name>"
+```
+
+Currently, we offer the following templates:
+
+## bidirectional-widget-plugin
+
+This creates a basic bidirectional widget plugin for Deephaven.
+A bidirectional plugin can send and receive messages on both the client and server.
