Does this skill use official Umbraco documentation?

Yes, the skill is designed to fetch the latest documentation from the official Umbraco site before generating code, ensuring your implementation matches the current version requirements.

Can I use TypeScript with this skill?

Absolutely. The skill generates TypeScript-ready bundle files with proper type imports from the @umbraco-cms/backoffice/extension-api package.

Why use a bundle instead of standard JSON manifests?

Bundles offer better organization for large projects, allowing you to use logic within your manifests, re-export from multiple files, and leverage TypeScript for better type safety and developer experience.

Content Management

Streamlines the creation and management of Umbraco CMS backoffice bundles by generating modular code-based manifests.

About

This skill assists developers in extending the Umbraco backoffice by implementing Bundles, which group multiple extension manifests into a single JavaScript or TypeScript file. Instead of managing cumbersome static JSON files, it enables a more modular, code-driven approach to registering dashboards, header apps, and other UI components. The skill automatically fetches the latest official documentation to ensure compliance with current Umbraco CMS standards and provides production-ready boilerplate for both umbraco-package.json and manifest bundle files.

Key Features

Fetches real-time official Umbraco documentation for up-to-date implementation
Generates umbraco-package.json configurations specifically for bundle types
Scaffolds TypeScript bundle files with proper UmbExtensionManifest type definitions
Supports modular re-exporting patterns for large-scale extension projects
Automates the registration of UI elements like dashboards and header apps
1 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Migrating legacy JSON-based extension manifests to a modular TypeScript bundle system
Organizing complex Umbraco packages with multiple interconnected UI extensions into maintainable files
Rapidly scaffolding new Umbraco backoffice features with standardized code patterns
