How can you combine both prompt functions and native code functions in one plugin?

Hello SK users.

I am developing a chat application.
While developing I started wondering what are the options to use both native code functions and prompt functions (yml or skprompt.txt + config.json) in one plugin?

Is that possible?

You can create a new plugin that contains all the functions from other plugins, e.g.

KernelPlugin plugin1 = ...;
KernelPlugin plugin2 = ...;
KernelPlugin combined = KernelPluginFactory.CreateFromFunctions("MyCoolPlugin", [..plugin1, ..plugin2]);

You can also write your own KernelPlugin-derived types. Here's an example of writing and using a mutable one that let's you add and remove functions.
