Build & Development Commands
- Use
npm install
to install all dependencies.
- Use
npm run dev
to start the development server with hot reload (via Vite).
- Use
npm run build
to build the extension for production into the dist/
directory.
- Output must be compatible with Chrome Extension Manifest V3.
Testing Guidelines
- Use manual browser testing by loading
dist/
as an unpacked Chrome extension.
- Test popup, content scripts, and background behavior in isolation.
- All React components in
src/components/
should have minimal unit test coverage (if applicable).
- Use
npm run lint
to check for errors.
Code Style & Guidelines
- Use React with functional components and hooks only.
- Follow the Airbnb JavaScript style guide.
- Prefer
useEffect
, useState
, and custom hooks for logic control.
- Keep components under 200 lines. Split logic into helper functions or hooks if needed.
- Use
ESM import/export
syntax exclusively.
- Use Tailwind CSS for styling. Prefer utility-first classes and avoid custom CSS when possible.
Documentation Guidelines
- Each React component must include a JSDoc-style comment describing its purpose and props.
README.md
should explain:
- How to run and build the plugin
- How the extension is structured (e.g., popup, background, content scripts)
- Any limitations or manual testing notes
- Prefer inline comments when logic is non-obvious.
Chrome Extension Guidelines
- Manifest must follow v3 format (
manifest_version: 3
).
- Use service worker for background logic (
background.service_worker
).
- Content scripts should be modular and avoid polluting the global scope.
- Use
web_accessible_resources
properly to expose only needed files.
- Avoid using
eval
, inline scripts, or non-secure permissions.
Continue Plugin Agent-Specific Instructions
- When generating code:
- Respect existing folder and module structure (
src/
, public/
, dist/
)
- Do not overwrite
manifest.json
unless explicitly requested.
- When creating components, place them in
src/components/
- If modifying styles, use Tailwind classes only.
- When debugging or suggesting fixes:
- Check for correct manifest fields, React mount points, and dev build errors.
- Suggest modular, readable improvements.
