Custom System

A user-defined system for anything the standard palette doesn't cover — a bespoke application, script, or third-party tool.

When to use it

Use a custom system when a real component doesn't fit the built-in types; give it a clear label.

In plain terms

The "other" box you write your own name on.

Common gotchas

  • Label it precisely — "Custom" alone tells a newcomer nothing.
  • Document its protocol and transport explicitly; nothing is assumed.
  • Prefer a specific type if one fits.
