+This is an example plugin for Tenzir.
+
+## Build and run
+
+Simply run `docker compose up` to build and start a Tenzir node with your
+additional plugin.
+
+Use `docker compose run tenzir '<pipeline>'` to interact with the node. Set the
+following environment variables and to connect your node to app.tenzir.com:
 
 ```
 export TENZIR_PLUGINS__PLATFORM__API_KEY='<api-key>'
 export TENZIR_PLUGINS__PLATFORM__TENANT_ID='<tenant-id>'
 ```
 
-## Write Tests
+## Learn how to write a plugin
+
+We think that learning how to build a plugin is best done by example. Tenzir
+ships with a variety of [plugins][plugins-source] and
+[builtins][builtins-source] to get inspired by and to learn from.
+
+If you have any questions, feel free to reach out in the [#developers channel
+on Discord][discord].
+
+## Run tests
 
 Every plugin defines additional tests using
 [BATS](https://bats-core.readthedocs.io/en/stable/writing-tests.html). Use
 `docker compose run tests` to execute your tests and update the reference files
 automatically.
+
+## Contribute your plugin
+
+If you want to upstream your plugin so that it is bundled with every Tenzir
+installation, open a PR that adds it to the [`plugins/` directory in the
+`tenzir/tenzir` repository][plugins-source].
