Description

Thank you for providing the fantastic youtube presentation yesterday.
I can see the template today and I'm interested in using this template to develop my own custom plugin, but I'm finding it a bit challenging to get started. Would it be possible to provide a step-by-step instructions in the README?

How to set up the project for a new plugin
A simple example of writing a new plugin using this template
How to test/debug the new plugin
A small guide like this would be extremely beneficial for newcomers like me who are new to both Kotlin compiler plugins.

Research direction

Start with the README and the existing project setup to identify how a new plugin is created from this template. Document setup, a small plugin example, and testing/debugging steps; done means a newcomer can follow the guide from a fresh checkout through a working plugin.
