## # depends:
Lists other plugins or language/system libraries which the current plugin requires:
# depends: corefuncs, json_io, bin:bash
Typically it just lists other plugin basenames. To indicate which must be available/active alongside.
Each entry is a plugin [basename](wiki/id), and indicates it must be available/active alongside.
* It's a list of local URNs.
* The recommended field name is "depends" and not "require" - for compatibility with the Debian packaging spec, and because it sounds less stringent.
* The recommended field name is "depends" and not "require" - for parity with the Debian packaging spec, and because it sounds less stringent.
* Not every application would want to enforce this *strictly*. Because dynamic languages can soft-detect dependencies usually.
* Within a plugin management UI, the depends: list could be used for installation warnings.
