How much does a build cost?
A typical simple plugin build uses 15 credits. More complex plugins with WooCommerce hooks, settings pages, or multiple feature areas use up to 35 credits. You can see the exact credit cost on the scope review screen before you commit.
Can I re-download a build I already ran?
Yes. Go to Dashboard → click your plugin → Details. Any completed build shows a download button. If you have the download ZIP link it's permanent for the lifetime of your account.
Can I edit the generated code?
Absolutely — the ZIP is yours. You can open it in any editor, extend it, and distribute it freely. The generated plugin is production PHP with proper headers; there's no obfuscation.
Why did my build fail?
Most build failures are caused by an idea that's too vague, a dependency the AI couldn't resolve, or a temporary model outage. The error screen will show the specific reason. See the Troubleshooting article for step-by-step remedies.
Can I run the same idea again?
Yes — open the project and use 'Rebuild'. Each rebuild produces a fresh build independent of previous runs, so you can try variations of your idea or recover from a failed build.
