No punctuation or article (you probably got that by now).  :-)

And full sentence, i.e. "This package contains a plugin ...".  Also
@file{.pyi}.

The 1) and 2) reads "weird" to me, maybe they can be cut off and just
use the text?  Or perhaps they should be on separate lines, perhaps with
@enumerate or similar?
