SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you retrieve and safely modify Umbraco document type schemas without manually navigating complex back-office screens.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Document Type Discovery: Fetch roots, list all document types, search by query, and get children or a specific type by ID.
  • Schema Mutation with Guardrails: Create, copy, move, update, and add containers/properties using a dry-run-first workflow to validate changes.
  • Response Shaping for Agents: Use flags like --fields, --first-n, --ids-only, and --summarize to keep outputs compact for context windows, then apply JSON-driven inputs for repeatability.

Quick Start

Use the Umbraco Management API through the umbraco doctype Skill to run a dry-run update for document type ID and inspect the validated request output before executing.
