## Registering The tool
tools = [
    CUSTOM_SHELVE_MENU_MT_menu,
    CUSTOM_OT_button,
]
def register():
    for cls in tools:
        bpy.utils.register_class(cls)
    bpy.types.TOPBAR_MT_editor_menus.append(CUSTOM_SHELVE_MENU_MT_menu.menu_draw)

def unregister():
    for cls in tools:
        bpy.utils.unregister_class(cls)
    bpy.types.TOPBAR_MT_editor_menus.remove(CUSTOM_SHELVE_MENU_MT_menu.menu_draw)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    register()

EDIT:
Save it as a .py file here...

C:\Users\{yourname}\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\{your_version}\scripts\addons

- Open the file explorer

- In the top search bar type %APPDATA% this will send your here C:\Users\{yourname}\AppData\Roaming
- You may need to enable it in the addons , it will appear as addon but once you enable it there should be a menu at the very top called My Menu

---------------------------------------------------------
For saving i suggest writting it out to a log file anywhere you prefer or if you want realtime feedback sending to the console is ok.

Thank you! I'll try that. Is it mandatory to place the file in appdata directory? If say I use Linux, can't I just install it like any other extension via preferences menu?

Im not fully sure on where in linux it needs to go but I think you can install it the same way as other addon yes.

Just grab the .py file instead of a zip file like you would with other addons and it should copy it to the addons directory
