SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers work on the Chat Customizations editor, the interface used to manage agents, skills, instructions, hooks, prompts, MCP servers, and plugins across different storage sources and harnesses.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Descriptor-driven UI changes: Update harness descriptors, section overrides, and storage source filters without scattering special-case logic through widgets.
  • Cross-layer API synchronization: Keep extension API types, IPC DTOs, and main-thread/ext-host mappings aligned when customization item shapes change.
  • Testing and screenshot validation: Prepare component-fixture data, verify layouts, and guard critical tabs against regressions in CI.
  • Use Case: A developer adds a new customization field and uses this Skill to update the shared interfaces, fixture data, and screenshots consistently across the editor.

Quick Start

Read the AI customizations spec first, then update the relevant harness descriptor, shared interfaces, and matching fixtures together before running the associated tests.
