 ## Developing a new plugin
 
-Create a function, and then register it like below.
+### Making your plugin discoverable
+
+To register a python module/package as a new a `pyscript` CLI plugin, it's first
+necessary to register that plugin via `setuptools.entrypoints`. To do so, if you
+are using a `setup.py` file, you'll need to add the following to it:
+
+```
+entry_points={"pyscript-cli": ["<plugin-name> = <plugin-module>"]}
+```
+
+otherwise, if you are using `Poetry`, you'll need to add the following to your
+`pyproject.toml` file:
+
+```
+[tool.poetry.plugins."pyscript-cli"]
+<plugin-name> = "<plugin-module>"
+```
+
+### Extending `pyscript` CLI with new commands
+
+To create new commands in your plugin and make them available in the `pyscript`
+CLI, create a function and then register it like below.
 
 ```python
 from pyscript import console, plugins
