Is the Repository Pattern mandatory for this skill?

While the skill supports the Repository Pattern for cleaner architecture, it can also generate direct fetch logic for simpler implementations.

Which Umbraco versions does this skill support?

This skill is designed for Umbraco 14 and above, targeting the modern, TypeScript-based backoffice extension framework.

Can I use this to search data outside of the Umbraco database?

Yes, the provider can be configured to fetch results from any external REST API, GraphQL service, or third-party search engine.

Does it automatically create the search results UI?
