+You're on the right track! You want to create a **Roundcube plugin** that allows users to **enhance or rewrite the email body using an LLM**, by sending the current message content to a backend API (your LLM service), then replacing the textarea content with the response.
+
+Here’s a complete working example of such a plugin, called `llm_compose_helper`. It adds a button to the compose screen, sends the current message text to a configured URL via AJAX, and replaces the message body with the LLM-generated result.
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Goal
+- Add a "Rewrite with AI" button in the compose window.
+- On click: open a popup asking the user for a rewrite prompt/instructions.
+- Submit both the current message body and the user prompt to the configured LLM API endpoint.
+- Replace the `<textarea>` content with the returned text.
+
+---
+
+## 📁 Plugin Structure
+```
+plugins/
+  llm_compose_helper/
+    llm_compose_helper.php     <-- Main plugin class
+    config.inc.php             <-- Configuration file

+
+## 5. Extend `llm_compose_helper.php` – Add Server-Side Action
+
+Update the `llm_compose_helper.php` file to register the AJAX action and handle the request:
+
+```php
+function init()
+{
+    $this->load_config();
+    $this->add_texts('localization/', true);
+
+    $rcmail = rcmail::get_instance();
+    if ($rcmail->action == 'compose') {
+        $this->include_script('js/llm_compose_helper.js');
+        $this->register_handler('plugin.llm_button', array($this, 'llm_button'));
+
+        // Register custom action for AJAX
+        $this->register_action('plugin.llm_rewrite', array($this, 'action_handler'));
+    }
+}
+
+function action_handler()
+{
+    $rcmail = rcmail::get_instance();
+
+    // Get input
+    $message = rcube_utils::get_input_value('message', rcube_utils::INPUT_POST);
+    $prompt  = rcube_utils::get_input_value('prompt', rcube_utils::INPUT_POST);
+    if (empty($message)) {
+        $rcmail->output->command('plugin.llm_rewrite_response', [
+            'status' => 'error',
+            'message' => 'No message provided'
+        ]);
+        return;
+    }
+
+    // Get config
+    $api_url = $rcmail->config->get('llm_api_url');
+    if (!$api_url) {
+        $rcmail->output->command('plugin.llm_rewrite_response', [
+            'status' => 'error',
+            'message' => 'LLM API URL not configured'
+        ]);
+        return;
+    }
+
+    $headers = $rcmail->config->get('llm_api_headers', ['Content-Type: application/json']);
+
+    // Prepare request
+    $data = json_encode(['text' => $message, 'prompt' => $prompt]);
+
+    // Use file_get_contents or cURL
+    $options = [
+        'http' => [
+            'header'  => $headers,
+            'method'  => 'POST',
+            'content' => $data,
+            'timeout' => 30
+        ],
+        'ssl' => [
+            'verify_peer'       => true,
+            'verify_peer_name'  => true,
+            'cafile'            => '/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt', // Adjust as needed
+        ]
+    ];
+
+    $context = stream_context_create($options);
+    $result = file_get_contents($api_url, false, $context);
+
+    if ($result === false) {
+        $rcmail->output->command('plugin.llm_rewrite_response', [
+            'status' => 'error',
+            'message' => 'Request failed'
+        ]);
+        return;
+    }
+
+    $response = json_decode($result, true);
+    $rewritten = isset($response['text']) && $response['text'] !== null ? $response['text'] : ($response['message'] ?? $result);
+
+    // Return success
+    $rcmail->output->command('plugin.llm_rewrite_response', [
+        'status' => 'success',
+        'text'   => $rewritten
+    ]);
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Example LLM API Response Format (Expected)
+
+Your external LLM endpoint should accept POST JSON:
+
+```json
+{ "text": "Hello, I am writing to ask about...", "prompt": "Make it shorter and more formal" }
+```
+
+And return:
+
+```json
+{ "text": "Hi, I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out to inquire about..." }
+```
+
+Ensure CORS is allowed if hosted separately.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Optional: Add More Labels
+
+In `localization/en_US.inc`, add:
+
+```php
+$messages = array(
+    'rewrite_success' => 'Message rewritten successfully!',
+    'rewrite_error'   => 'Failed to rewrite message.',
+    'non_empty'       => 'Please write something before using AI rewrite.'
+);
+```
+
+---
+
+## 8. Enable the Plugin
+
+In `config/config.inc.php`:
+
+```php
+$config['plugins'] = array(
+    // ... other plugins
+    'llm_compose_helper'
+);
+```
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Final Result
+
+When composing or replying:
+- A new button labeled "AI Rewrite" appears in the toolbar.
+- Clicking it opens a dialog asking for a rewrite prompt.
+- Submitting sends the current message and the prompt to your LLM API.
+- The response replaces the message body.
+- Works with plain text and HTML (via CKEditor if enabled).
