Umbraco Routing
This teaches Claude how Umbraco's backoffice routing works, from simple pathname-based navigation to complex nested routes with parameters. It's built around the umb-router-slot component and includes working examples for sections, dashboards, and custom routed elements. The skill enforces fetching fresh docs from the official Umbraco CMS documentation before implementing anything, which is smart given how fast framework specifics change. What's nice is the reference to actual source code in the Umbraco repo for modal routing patterns. If you're building custom sections or need URL-based navigation in Umbraco's backoffice, this gives Claude the foundation without having to explain routing concepts from scratch every time.

Umbraco Routing
What is it?
Routing in Umbraco's backoffice enables navigation between sections, dashboards, and workspaces using pathname-based URLs. Sections serve as primary organizational dividers with entry points via section views, dashboards, or custom elements. Custom routing can be built using umb-router-slot with route definitions that support parameters and redirects.
