# Craft CMS 5 — Extending (Plugins & Modules)
Reference for extending Craft CMS 5 through plugins and modules. Covers everything from elements and services to controllers, migrations, fields, and events.
This skill is scoped to **extending** Craft — building plugins, modules, custom element types, field types, and backend integrations. For site/platform development (content modeling, sections, entry types, Twig templating, plugin selection), see the `craft-site` skill.
## Companion Skills — Always Load Together
When this skill triggers, also load:
- **`craft-php-guidelines`** — PHPDoc standards, section headers, naming conventions, class organization, ECS/PHPStan, verification checklist. Required for any PHP code.
- **`ddev`** — All commands run through DDEV. Required for running ECS, PHPStan, scaffolding, and tests.
- **`craft-garnish`** — When working on CP JavaScript, asset bundles, or interactive CP components. Covers Garnish's class system, UI widgets (Modal, HUD, DisclosureMenu, Select), drag system, and the Craft.* JS class pattern.
