+
+I'll help you create a Blender extension for replacing linked assets and characters. Let me start by creating the manifest TOML file, which is essential for any Blender addon.

+
+Perfect! I've created the manifest TOML file for your Blender extension. This manifest includes:
+
+- **Basic Blender addon info** with the `bl_info` dictionary that Blender requires
+- **Extension metadata** including name, version, description, and author
+- **Blender compatibility** range (3.0.0 to 4.0.0)
+- **Entry points** configuration for proper addon registration
+- **File structure** that outlines the expected Python modules
+
+The manifest is set up for a "Dynamic Link Manager" extension that will help users replace linked assets and characters in Blender. You can customize the author name, repository URLs, and other details as needed.
+
+Would you like me to proceed with creating the Python files that the manifest references, or would you prefer to modify the manifest first?
