Ai Skill Extension Workflows

AI_SKILL_extension_workflows

Overview

Use this skill for browser extension work that spans popup UI, content scripts, background logic, permissions, injection behavior, runtime messaging, and extension-to-web coordination.

Execute Workflow

1. Define the extension surface.

• Identify whether the work lives in popup, options, content script, background/service worker, devtools, or a companion web app.
• State the user-facing goal and what must persist across refreshes or tabs.

2. Map runtime boundaries.

• Separate what runs on the page, in the extension runtime, and on the backend.
• Define the source of truth for user state, sync state, and page-observed state.

3. Minimize permissions.

• Use the smallest permission set that supports the feature.
• Prefer optional permissions or host scoping when possible.
