What are Umbraco Backoffice Conditions?

Conditions are gatekeeping mechanisms that define when an extension, such as a dashboard or workspace action, should be visible to the user based on the current context.

How does the logic work for multiple conditions?

Umbraco uses AND logic for extension conditions. This means every condition defined in the manifest must pass for the extension to be displayed.

How does this Claude Code skill assist with development?

The skill provides Claude with the latest documentation and code patterns to generate accurate JSON manifests and TypeScript implementations for Umbraco extensions.

Can I create my own custom conditions?

Yes, you can create custom conditions by implementing the UmbConditionBase class and registering it in your extension manifest.

What kind of built-in conditions are available?

Umbraco provides built-in conditions for matching section aliases, workspace types, content type aliases, user permissions, and administrative status.

Content Management

Manages the visibility and availability of Umbraco backoffice extensions through context-aware gatekeeping and conditional logic.

The Umbraco Conditions skill empowers developers to master the foundational concept of conditional visibility within the Umbraco CMS backoffice. It provides automated guidance for declaring requirements that must be met—such as specific user permissions, workspace aliases, or content types—before an extension like a dashboard or action becomes available. By supporting both built-in conditions and the implementation of custom logic via the UmbConditionBase API, this skill ensures that backoffice interfaces remain clean, secure, and contextually relevant for end-users.
