Umbraco Tiptap Statusbar Extension

Adds informational components to the status bar at the bottom of Umbraco's Tiptap rich text editor. You get three solid examples: a word and character counter that updates on editor changes, an element path breadcrumb showing the node hierarchy at cursor position, and a line/column position indicator. All three consume the UMB_TIPTAP_RTE_CONTEXT to subscribe to editor events like update and selectionUpdate. The skill fetches current Umbraco docs before generating anything, which matters since the extension registry types change between versions. Statusbar extensions are read only displays, so if you need interactive controls that modify content, you want the toolbar extension skill instead.

Umbraco Tiptap Statusbar Extension

What is it?

A Tiptap Statusbar Extension adds components to the status bar at the bottom of the Rich Text Editor. Common uses include showing element path (breadcrumb navigation), word count, character count, or other editor state information. Unlike toolbar extensions, statusbar extensions are purely visual/informational elements.
