 The main `jspsych` repository is open to new plugins and extensions that are likely to be widely used. We require that contributions to main repository are well documented and tested before they are merged. Contributions to the main repository must use TypeScript. We limit contributions to this repository because once a plugin or extension is in the main codebase we are generally committed to providing updates as we develop new versions of jsPsych. Each new plugin and extension potentially increases the amount of development work that we will need to do in the future, so we are somewhat selective about what we will merge. If you have an idea that you'd like to discuss please [open a discussion thread](https://github.com/jspsych/jsPsych/discussions/new) and we'd love to chat about it!
 
-The `jspsych-contrib` repository is open to any contributions that are complete and working code. There are some minimal guidelines in place about basic documentation that should be provided. Contributors can choose whether to develop their plugin or extension using our [TypeScript template](https://github.com/jspsych/jspsych-contrib/tree/main/packages/plugin-template-ts) or using our [JavaScript template](https://github.com/jspsych/jspsych-contrib/tree/main/packages/plugin-template). Contributions to `jspsych-contrib` are not evaluated for general usefulness in the same way that contributions to the main repository are. We also periodically consider whether to move contributions into the main repository from `jspsych-contrib` based on their popularity and completeness (documentation and testing).

+Templates for plugins are available in the [jspsych-contrib](https://github.com/jspsych/jspsych-contrib) repository. Plugins can be written in either plain [JavaScript](https://github.com/jspsych/jspsych-contrib/blob/main/templates/plugin-template-js/src/index.js) or in [TypeScript](https://github.com/jspsych/jspsych-contrib/blob/main/templates/plugin-template-ts/src/index.ts).
 
-Plugins can be written in either plain JavaScript or in TypeScript. Template files for both [JavaScript](https://github.com/jspsych/jspsych-contrib/blob/main/templates/plugin-template-js/src/index.js) and [TypeScript](https://github.com/jspsych/jspsych-contrib/blob/main/templates/plugin-template-ts/src/index.ts) are available in the [jspsych-contrib repository](https://github.com/jspsych/jspsych-contrib/).
+Additionally, `jspsych-contrib` offers guidance for either approach in its [`README`](https://github.com/jspsych/jspsych-contrib) file. It is likewise (for now) the exclusive home for CLI tools like `npm run new`, which we've built to help developers get started. Those relying on Typescript can then use the `npm run build` command to compile their `index.ts` code into Javascript files. Meanwhile, those templating directly in Javascript can run their trial code using the `trial()` method, as detailed below.

 We also recommend that you make your plugin *as general as possible*. Consider using parameters to give the user of the plugin as many options for customization as possible. For example, if you have any text that displays in the plugin including things like button labels, implement the text as a parameter. This allows users running experiments in other languages to replace text values as needed.

-Templates for plugins are available in the [jspsych-contrib](https://github.com/jspsych/jspsych-contrib) repository. There is a command-line tool for generating a new plugin from these templates in that repository. See the README file in the jspsych-contrib repository for more information.
