 ## Cleaning Up
 To remove all of the cloned repositories, use `pnpm clean`. **WARNING** this WILL delete ALL files in the repositories, so be sure you don't have any work you want to save.

+# Common Processes
+
+## Adding a new first-party module
+
+1. Create the repository in `@extollo`, based on the `@extollo/_template` repo.
+2. Add a `clone:module` action to the scripts in `package.json`. Something like:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    // ...
+    "clone:module_name": "git clone ${npm_config_git:-https://code.garrettmills.dev/extollo/}forms modules/forms"
+  }
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+3. Add the `clone:module_name` action to the `clone:all` action.
+4. Add an `install:module_name` action to the scripts in `package.json`. Make sure it replaces any Extollo modules with symlink versions to the clones versions. For example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    // ...
+    "install:module_name": "cd modules/module_name && pnpm i --save @extollo/cli@file:../cli @extollo/di@file:../di @extollo/lib@file:../lib @extollo/util@file:../util && pnpm run build && cd ../.."
+  }
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+5. Add the `install:module_name` action to the `install:all` action.
+6. Add a `build:module_name` action to the scripts ni `package.json`. For example,
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    // ...
+    "build:module_name": "cd modules/module_name && pnpm run build"
+  }
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+7. Add the `build:module_name` action to the `build:all` action.
+8. Add the `modules/module_name` directory to the `clean:modules` action.
+9. Install the repository you just added:
+
+```shell
+pnpm clone:module_name && pnpm install:module_name
+```
+
+10. Enable CI for the repo:
+  1. Sync the repositories, then activate the `@extollo/module_name` repository
+  2. Add the `npm_password`, `drone_token`, `gitea_token`, and `notify_webhook_url` secrets to the repo for extollo bot.
+  3. Edit `.drone.yml` to replace `PACKAGE` with the package name.
