As far as I know there is no official library template available for Robot Framework libraries. For custom keyword python libraries it seems like the current recommendation is to use poetry for dependency management and packaging. From a long time project maintenance perspective and ease of onboar…

Maybe a community effort could fill in the gap here ?

Absolutely. I just want to make sure that it’s in alignment with the RF core team and that the template(s) can me maintained as part of the Robot Framework · GitHub organization later on to ensure long time maintenance,

well, there is marketsquare · GitHub - while its not “core team”, plenty of prominent people are part of that.

Good idea. We can come up with some proposal and contact the org members later on if they can take over the repo into the marketplace org.

I‘ll open source a RF library robotframework-github I’ve worked on recently the next days to weeks. The project uses common modern tools for development (uv, marimo) and could be a good inspiration.

@daniel helped out w.r.t. devcontainer + vscode + uv + robotcode setup: Devcontainer + vscode + uv + robotcode - Tools / Visual Studio Code(ium) - Robot Framework . I’ll merge other boilerplate best practices into the forked fkromer/robotframework-dosomething (PRs are welcome :wink: ).

Project issues makes it easier to communicate features and coordinate development. Feel free to create new issues (features) and reference those in PRs (feature implementation).

The project is usable as GitHub repo template now.

No worries. That’s asyc communication is all about :wink: Seem like a reference would fit best into the " Custom Libraries and APIs" section. I’ve never used Docusaurus 2 yet and don’t want to invest time into digging into there ATM to be honest. Would be great if someone could take over on that sid…

Sorry for the late reply, but all this sounds really good to me! Writing a separate guide or at least somehow mentioning this under the Guides could be a good idea as well.
