 ## Optional Scripts
 
+#### bin/help scripts
+
+This is not one callback script but rather a set of callback scripts that each print different documentation to STDOUT. The possible callback scripts are listed below. Note that `bin/help.overview` is a special case as it must be present for any help output to be displayed for the script.
+
+* `bin/help.overview` - This script should output a general description about the plugin and the tool being managed. No heading should be printed as asdf will print headings. Output may be free-form text but ideally only one short paragraph. This script must be present if you want asdf to provide help information for your plugin. All other help callback scripts are optional.
+* `bin/help.deps` - This script should output the list of dependencies tailored to the operating system. One dependency per line.
+* `bin/help.config` - This script should print any required or optional configuration that may be available for the plugin and tool. Any environment variables or other flags needed to install or compile the tool (for the users operating system when possible). Output can be free-form text.
+* `bin/help.links` - This should be a list of links relevant to the plugin and tool (again, tailored to the current operating system when possible). One link per line. Lines may be in the format `<title>: <link>` or just `<link>`.
+
+Each of these scripts should tailor their output to the current operating system. For example, when on Ubuntu the deps script could output the dependencies as apt-get packages that must be installed. The script should also tailor its output to the value of `ASDF_INSTALL_VERSION` and `ASDF_INSTALL_TYPE` when the variables are set. They are optional and will not always be set.
+
+The help callback script MUST NOT output any information that is already covered in the core asdf-vm documentation. General asdf usage information must not be present.
+
 #### bin/list-bin-paths
 
 List executables for the specified version of the tool. Must print a string with a space-separated list of dir paths that contain executables. The paths must be relative to the install path passed. Example output would be:
