Hi, I am writing a custom plugin which a command is invoked in a Process and multiple documents are generated. the problem is I don't know what files and directories will be created beforehand so how to construct the output files for the Process?

Can you control which subdirectory of the sandbox they get written under? You can capture an entire output directory

Hopefully you've found this section of the docs, but just missed this bit: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/rules-api-process#output-files
So you can use
output_directories
instead of
output_files
.
