## Submitting Your Mod

Want to share your mod with the LuaTools community?

### Step 1: Create Your Mod

Follow the [Mod Development Guide](/kite-loader-documentation/mod-development.md) to build and test your mod.

### Step 2: Host on GitHub

1. Create a public GitHub repository for your mod
2. Include a proper `manifest.json` with all required fields
3. Add a `README.md` explaining what your mod does
4. Tag releases with SemVer versions (e.g., `v1.0.0`)

### Step 3: Get Listed

Open an [issue](https://github.com/nitaybl/kite/issues) on the mod loader repo with:

* Your mod's GitHub URL
* A brief description
* A screenshot (if visual)

We'll review it and add it to the community mod directory.
