 When you build a plugin, start with the directory layout and the `Structure` section, then jump to the component references you actually use. The resource links at the end are the primary sources for Lua and MudBlazor behavior, and the `General Tips` section collects the practical rules and gotchas that matter most while authoring `plugin.lua`.

+## Minimal Example
+If you want to see a complete assistant plugin, start with `examples/translation/plugin.lua` in this folder. It mirrors the built-in translation assistant in a reduced form.
+
+This example shows:
+- `WEB_CONTENT_READER`
+- `FILE_CONTENT_READER`
+- a plain `TEXT_AREA`
+- a `DROPDOWN` for the target language
+- `PROVIDER_SELECTION`
+- `ASSISTANT.BuildPrompt(input)` for prompt assembly
+
+Treat the example as the recommended minimum viable pattern for assistant plugins, not as a feature-by-feature clone of `AssistantTranslation.razor`.
+
 ## Directory Structure
 Each assistant plugin lives in its own directory under the assistants plugin root. In practice, you usually keep the manifest in `plugin.lua`, optional icon rendering in `icon.lua`, and any bundled media in `assets/`.

 - Behavior notes:
  - For single-select dropdowns, `input.<Name>.Value` is a single raw value such as `germany`.
  - For multiselect dropdowns, `input.<Name>.Value` is an array-like Lua table of raw values.
-  - The UI shows the `Display` text, while prompt assembly and `BuildPrompt(input)` receive the raw `Value`.
+  - `input.<Name>.Display` contains the visible label for single-select dropdowns.
+  - For multiselect dropdowns, `input.<Name>.Display` is an array-like Lua table of visible labels in the same order as `Value`.
  - `Default` should usually also exist in `Items`. If it is missing there, the runtime currently still renders it as an available option.
