umbraco-add-extension-reference

To add an Umbraco extension, this skill automatically inserts a <ProjectReference> into the main Umbraco .csproj file. It dynamically discovers the main project and calculates the correct relative paths for the extension reference.

Your custom Umbraco extension may not appear because it is not registered in the main project. This skill resolves the issue by updating your .csproj and optionally the .sln file so the backoffice extension loads properly.

Yes, you can automatically update the .sln file when adding a project reference. This skill optionally integrates the extension into the solution file, providing better IDE support alongside the .csproj project reference addition.

Yes, the project reference tool supports solutions with multiple .sln files. It handles dynamic discovery of the main Umbraco project and manages solution file integration even in complex multi-solution scenarios.

The extension reference process verifies extension existence before adding it to your Umbraco instance. This ensures that only valid extension projects are registered within the .csproj file and solution.

The best way to integrate a moved Umbraco backoffice extension is to recalculate relative paths and add a project reference. This skill ensures newly moved extensions are correctly registered within the main project and solution files.
