Instructions

操作指南

Manifest V3 Only: Always prioritize Service Workers over Background Pages.
Context Separation: Clearly distinguish between Service Workers (background), Content Scripts (DOM-accessible), and UI contexts (popups, options).
Message Passing: Use
```
chrome.runtime.sendMessage
```
and
```
chrome.tabs.sendMessage
```
for reliable communication. Always use the
```
responseCallback
```
.
Permissions: Follow the principle of least privilege. Use
```
optional_permissions
```
where possible.

Storage: Use

chrome.storage.local

chrome.storage.sync

for persistent data instead of

localStorage

Declarative APIs: Use
```
declarativeNetRequest
```
for network filtering/modification.

仅使用Manifest V3：始终优先使用Service Worker而非后台页面。
上下文分离：明确区分Service Worker（后台）、内容脚本（可访问DOM）和UI上下文（弹出窗口、选项页面）。

消息传递：使用

chrome.runtime.sendMessage

和

chrome.tabs.sendMessage

实现可靠通信，务必使用

responseCallback

。

权限原则：遵循最小权限原则，尽可能使用
```
optional_permissions
```
。
存储方案：使用
```
chrome.storage.local
```
或
```
chrome.storage.sync
```
存储持久化数据，而非
```
localStorage
```
。
声明式API：使用
```
declarativeNetRequest
```
进行网络过滤/修改。

Example 1: Basic Manifest V3 Structure

示例1：基础Manifest V3结构

json

{
  "manifest_version": 3,
  "name": "My Agentic Extension",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "action": {
    "default_popup": "popup.html"
  },
  "background": {
    "service_worker": "background.js"
  },
  "content_scripts": [
    {
      "matches": ["https://*.example.com/*"],
      "js": ["content.js"]
    }
  ],
  "permissions": ["storage", "activeTab"]
}

Example 2: Message Passing Policy

示例2：消息传递策略

javascript

// background.js (Service Worker)
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message, sender, sendResponse) => {
  if (message.type === "GREET_AGENT") {
    console.log("Received message from content script:", message.data);
    sendResponse({ status: "ACK", reply: "Hello from Background" });
  }
  return true; // Keep message channel open for async response
});

javascript

// background.js (Service Worker)
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message, sender, sendResponse) => {
  if (message.type === "GREET_AGENT") {
    console.log("Received message from content script:", message.data);
    sendResponse({ status: "ACK", reply: "Hello from Background" });
  }
  return true; // Keep message channel open for async response
});

Best Practices

最佳实践

✅ Do: Use
```
chrome.runtime.onInstalled
```
for extension initialization.
✅ Do: Use modern ES modules in scripts if configured in manifest.
✅ Do: Validate external input in content scripts before acting on it.
❌ Don't: Use
```
innerHTML
```
or
```
eval()
```
- prefer
```
textContent
```
and safe DOM APIs.
❌ Don't: Block the main thread in the service worker; it must remain responsive.

✅ 推荐：使用
```
chrome.runtime.onInstalled
```
进行扩展初始化。
✅ 推荐：若在manifest中配置，可在脚本中使用现代ES模块。
✅ 推荐：在内容脚本中对外部输入进行验证后再执行操作。
❌ 禁止：使用
```
innerHTML
```
或
```
eval()
```
——优先使用
```
textContent
```
和安全的DOM API。
❌ 禁止：在Service Worker中阻塞主线程；Service Worker必须保持响应性。

Troubleshooting

故障排除

Problem: Service worker becomes inactive. Solution: Background service workers are ephemeral. Use

chrome.alarms

for scheduled tasks rather than

setTimeout

setInterval

which may be killed.

问题：Service Worker变为非活跃状态。 解决方案：后台Service Worker是临时的。使用

chrome.alarms

执行定时任务，而非可能被终止的

setTimeout

或

setInterval

。
