I want to create custom strategy_plugins in ansible 2.7

There is new https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/47194/files meta: end_host is added in ansible v2.8.3
But currently my envirnoment is running with ansible 2.7.5 so i have created the strategy_plugins directory under my roles and added these files and set strategy_dir_path set correctly in ansible.cfg.
but still i am getting the error invalida meta name argument

Let me know how to create custom strategy plugin to port above PR

Are you sure you want to put effort into back-porting something to a version that will soon be EOL?

Unless you’re trapped in policies that mandate the use of EOL software, I’d divert the resources into moving your environment to 2.9 so you will be able to use this plugin natively (and potentially have many other benefits).
