Umbraco Dashboard
This one helps you build custom dashboards for Umbraco's backoffice without diving through docs yourself. It fetches the latest official documentation, references the actual source code examples in the Umbraco repo, and generates both the manifest and implementation files. What's useful here is how it connects you to related foundation skills when you need deeper context on things like UmbElementMixin or the Context API. The workflow is straightforward: it asks what section and functionality you need, pulls fresh docs, then generates working code. Good for when you need a dashboard up quickly and want to follow Umbraco's current patterns rather than guessing from outdated tutorials.

Umbraco Dashboard
What is it?
Dashboards are customizable components that appear in Umbraco's backoffice sections to display information and functionality. They show an 'editor' for the selected item in the tree or default section information when no item is selected. Dashboards use conditions to control where and when they appear in the backoffice.
Documentation
Always fetch the latest docs before implementing:
- Main docs: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/extend-your-project/backoffice-extensions/extending-overview/extension-types/dashboard
- Foundation: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/extend-your-project/backoffice-extensions/foundation
- Extension Registry: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/extend-your-project/backoffice-extensions/extending-overview/extension-registry
