+# Starlark Aggregator
+
+The `starlark` aggregator allows to implement a custom aggregator plugin with a Starlark script. The Starlark
+script needs to be composed of the three methods defined in the Aggregator plugin interface which are `add`, `push` and `reset`.
+
+The Starlark Aggregator plugin calls the Starlark function `add` to add the metrics to the aggregator, then calls the Starlark function `push` to push the resulting metrics into the accumulator and finally calls the Starlark function `reset` to reset the entire state of the plugin.
+
+The Starlark functions can use the global function `state` to keep temporary the metrics to aggregate.
+
+The Starlark language is a dialect of Python, and will be familiar to those who
+have experience with the Python language. However, there are major [differences](#python-differences).
+Existing Python code is unlikely to work unmodified.  The execution environment
+is sandboxed, and it is not possible to do I/O operations such as reading from
+files or sockets.
+
+The **[Starlark specification][]** has details about the syntax and available
+functions.
+
+## Configuration
+
+```toml
+[[aggregators.starlark]]
+  ## The Starlark source can be set as a string in this configuration file, or
+  ## by referencing a file containing the script.  Only one source or script
+  ## should be set at once.
+  ##
+  ## Source of the Starlark script.
+  source = '''
+state = {}
+
+def add(metric):
+  state["last"] = metric
+
+def push():
+  return state.get("last")
+
+def reset():
+  state.clear()
+'''
+
+  ## File containing a Starlark script.
+  # script = "/usr/local/bin/myscript.star"
+
+  ## The constants of the Starlark script.
+  # [aggregators.starlark.constants]
+  #   max_size = 10
+  #   threshold = 0.75
+  #   default_name = "Julia"
+  #   debug_mode = true
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+The Starlark code should contain a function called `add` that takes a metric as argument.
+The function will be called with each metric to add, and doesn't return anything.
+
+```python
+def add(metric):
+  state["last"] = metric
+```
+
+The Starlark code should also contain a function called `push` that doesn't take any argument.
+The function will be called to compute the aggregation, and returns the metrics to push to the accumulator.
+
+```python
+def push():
+  return state.get("last")
+```
+
+The Starlark code should also contain a function called `reset` that doesn't take any argument.
+The function will be called to reset the plugin, and doesn't return anything.
+
+```python
+def push():
+  state.clear()
+```
+
+For a list of available types and functions that can be used in the code, see
+the [Starlark specification][].
+
+## Python Differences
+
+Refer to the section [Python Differences](plugins/processors/starlark/README.md#python-differences) of the documentation about the Starlark processor.
+
+## Libraries available
+
+Refer to the section [Libraries available](plugins/processors/starlark/README.md#libraries-available) of the documentation about the Starlark processor.
+
+## Common Questions
+
+Refer to the section [Common Questions](plugins/processors/starlark/README.md#common-questions) of the documentation about the Starlark processor.
+
+## Examples
+
+- [minmax](/plugins/aggregators/starlark/testdata/min_max.star) - A minmax aggregator implemented with a Starlark script.
+- [merge](/plugins/aggregators/starlark/testdata/merge.star) - A merge aggregator implemented with a Starlark script.
+
+[All examples](/plugins/aggregators/starlark/testdata) are in the testdata folder.
