Both of these articles talk about how to develop extensions for VS2013, but both presume that you have an extension project type available

As of 11/9/13, there are already 544 extensions for VS2013 in the gallery, so I'm guessing it's possible, but I can't find the template anywhere.

Found It! You need to download the

Visual Studio 2013 SDK

Once installed, the project template will appear here:

    I had the VS 2013 SDK installed, but still couldn't find it. Turns out I was looking for VSIX Project in the Other Project Types -> Extensibility menu, instead of Visual C# -> Extensibility. Thanks for the screenshot! – deadlydog Feb 18 '14 at 21:37
  • Oddly for me your link didn't work, I had to use the Canadian version https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=40758 - no idea if that's a temporary glitch... – Jim W Jan 23 '17 at 17:38
  • I'm unable to download the VS2013 SDK from above link, I also tried to google around, all URL redirected to MS website with 404. any help? – Ashwath May 31 '17 at 16:07
  • The download page is not available any more. Download from this URL - https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?pid=1436 (Required to sign in) or in VS 2013 > Extension, search for SDK and click "download" button on "Visual Studio 2013 SDK" which will redirect you to above page – Web-E Jul 06 '17 at 05:18
