description	Build and maintain Raycast extensions using the Raycast API. Triggers on @raycast/api, List, Grid, Detail, Form, AI.ask, LocalStorage, Cache, showToast, and BrowserExtension. Use this repo's references/api/*.md files as the primary source of truth for component specs and API usage.

Raycast Extensions Skill

Build powerful extensions with React, TypeScript, and the Raycast API.

Quick Start (Agent Workflow)

Follow these steps when tasked with implementing or fixing Raycast features:

1. Identify the core component: Determine if the UI needs a List, Grid, Detail, or Form.
2. Consult Reference: Open and read the corresponding file in references/api/ (e.g., references/api/list.md).
3. Use Defaults:
   • Feedback: Use showToast for Loading/Success/Failure. Use showHUD only for quick background completions.
   • Data: Use Cache for frequent/transient data, LocalStorage for persistent user data.
   • Access: Always check environment.canAccess(AI) or environment.canAccess(BrowserExtension) before use.
4. Implementation: Provide a concise implementation using @raycast/api components.
5. Citing: Link back to the specific references/api/*.md file you used.

Cookbook Patterns

1. List & Grid (Searchable UI)

Use List for text-heavy data and Grid for image-heavy data.
