Umbraco Notifications
This handles Umbraco backoffice notifications through the UMB_NOTIFICATION_CONTEXT, which gives you those toast-style messages for success, errors, and warnings. You consume the context in your element or controller, then call peek() with a type and message. It's straightforward for action feedback: save confirmations, validation errors, that sort of thing. The skill fetches current docs from the Umbraco site before generating code, which matters since the backoffice API moves around between versions. Good for anyone building custom Umbraco elements who needs to show temporary user feedback without building their own notification system.

Umbraco Notifications
What is it?
Notifications provide user feedback in the Umbraco backoffice through the UMB_NOTIFICATION_CONTEXT, which is consumed via the Context API. The peek() method displays temporary toast-style notifications with different types (positive, negative, warning). Notifications appear in the UI temporarily and automatically dismiss, making them ideal for action confirmations and error messages.
