I suggest you look at the source code of one of our plugins such as [discourse-tagging](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-tagging) for further examples if it’s not clear from the guides.

Adding a site setting is covered in [part 3](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-creating-discourse-plugins-part-3-custom-settings/31115) and no initializer is required.
