-All new integrations, including Tools, Drivers, Tasks, etc., should initially be developed as extensions and then can be upstreamed into Griptape core if discussed and approved.
-
-The [Griptape Extension Template](https://github.com/griptape-ai/griptape-extension-template) provides the recommended structure, step-by-step instructions, basic automation, and usage examples for new integrations.
