# Hubot Adapters

Adapters are the interface to the service you want your hubot to run on.

## Official Adapters

Hubot includes two official adapters:

* [Shell](adapters/shell.md), i.e. for use with development
* [Campfire](adapters/campfire.md)

## Third-party Adapters

Third-party adapters are available as `npm` packages. Here is a list of known
adapters, but please [submit an issue](https://github.com/github/hubot/issues)

## Writing Your Own adapter

The best place to start is `src/adapter.coffee`, and inheriting from `Adapter`.
There is not as much documentation as could exist (yet!), so it is worth
reviewing existing adapters as well as how hubot internally uses an adapter.
