Cursor Skill

Build and publish Chrome Extensions using Manifest V3 best practices. Use this skill whenever the user asks to create, modify, debug, or understand Chrome browser extensions, add-ons, or anything involving the Chrome Extensions API. Trigger on mentions of: 'Chrome extension', 'browser extension', 'manifest.json', 'content script', 'service worker' (in browser context), 'popup' (in browser extension context), 'side panel', 'chrome.* API', 'declarativeNetRequest', 'omnibox', 'context menu' (in extension context), or any request to build functionality that integrates with the Chrome browser UI. Also trigger for publishing to the Chrome Web Store: 'publish extension', preparing an extension for publishing, responding to a review rejection, writing permission justifications, or drafting a privacy policy.

Modern Web Guidance is an agent skill and CLI tool designed to help AI coding agents build web applications using modern, secure, and high-performance APIs rather than outdated workarounds. Supported by the Google Chrome team, it injects expert-curated web platform best practices directly into an agent's context window to prevent the generation of bloated, legacy code.
