vvvv-node-libraries

Helps set up C# library projects that provide nodes to vvvv gamma — project directory structure, Initialization.cs with AssemblyInitializer, service registration via RegisterService, IResourceProvider factories, ImportAsIs / ImportNamespace / ImportType selection, category organization, aspects (Advanced/Internal/Hidden) via [Smell] and category keywords, .csproj setup, and dynamic node factories via RegisterNodeFactory. Also covers contributing changes to an existing/upstream vvvv library — fork → branch → PR workflow, editable source packages (--package-repositories / --editable-packages), and the .vl-document diff problem. Use when creating a new vvvv library, VL package, NuGet package for vvvv, deciding which import attribute to use, organizing categories, controlling which public types become nodes, registering services or node factories, setting up the project structure, or contributing a fix/feature/PR to a library you don't own (e.g. VL.StandardLibs). Trigger when the user says 'create a package', 'make a library', 'distribute nodes', 'organize categories', 'hide internal helpers from the node browser', 'mark nodes advanced', 'clean up the node browser', 'publish a VL package', 'contribute to vvvv', 'file a PR on a vvvv library', or 'edit an existing library'.
