How to create a new remote module

[monaqa]

I would like to create a plugin using nvim-treesitter, what is the current recommended process to follow?

The current master CONTRIBUTING.md says:

In any case, you can build your own module! To help you get started in the process, we have a template repository designed to build new modules here.

However, the linked module-template repository has been archived and says

Nvim-treesitter modules are deprecated and will be removed; new tree-sitter based plugins should be standalone.

I am not sure what the "standalone" refers to.

Don't.

I am not sure what the "standalone" refers to.

It means it should not rely on nvim-treesitter in any way. Just assume that users have some way of installing parsers, and use Neovim's own vim.treesitter API to implement it. (See https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-context for an example.)

Thanks for the quick reply!
I will take a cue from https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-context.
