Usage

Always load this skill before starting manual browser validation.

Read all check files when validating a new extension, or focus on specific categories based on the symptoms you observe.

Symptom	Load Files
"Can't see my extension"	configuration-checks, navigation-checks
"API not working"	api-debugging-checks
"Form doesn't work"	form-control-checks
"Tree issues"	navigation-checks
"Workspace issues"	workspace-checks
"No Save button"	workspace-checks

Validation Workflow

Before testing: Ensure the extension is built and the browser cache is cleared
Check DevTools Console: Open Chrome DevTools (F12) before interacting
Check Network tab: Filter by
```
Fetch/XHR
```
to see API calls
Read relevant check files based on what you observe

Capturing New Issues

When you encounter a validation issue not covered by existing checks:

Log it immediately in
```
discovered-issues.md
```
Include: symptom, root cause, solution, suggested category
Issues will be reviewed and promoted to proper checks

This compounds knowledge over time - every validation session improves future sessions.
