# Creating a Codomyrmex Module

This tutorial walks you through creating a new module for Codomyrmex from scratch. We'll create a simple "text_analysis" module that analyzes text content.

## 🎯 What We'll Build

Our `text_analysis` module will provide:
- Word count and character analysis
- Sentiment analysis capabilities
- Text readability metrics
- Integration with other Codomyrmex modules

## 📋 Prerequisites

- Codomyrmex development environment set up
- Basic Python knowledge
- Understanding of [Codomyrmex module architecture](../../modules/overview.md)

## 🚀 Step 1: Create Module Structure

### **Use the Module Template**
```bash
# Navigate to the src/codomyrmex directory
cd src/codomyrmex

# Copy the module template
cp -r module_template text_analysis

# Verify structure
ls text_analysis/
```
