What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers create, debug, and port GNOME Shell extensions using GJS and ESModules, simplifying the extension lifecycle from skeleton to UI components.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Extension anatomy: covers metadata.json, extension.js, prefs.js, and stylesheet.css, plus ESModule imports and GNOME Shell API usage.
  • UI patterns: demonstrates panel indicators, popup menus, quick settings, dialogs, and translations.
  • Porting & publishing: guides upgrading extensions for GNOME Shell 45–49 and preparing submissions to extensions.gnome.org.

Quick Start

Create a new extension scaffold with metadata.json and extension.js, enable it with gnome-extensions, then begin implementing UI and preferences.
