Can this skill help with API errors in the Umbraco backoffice?

Yes, it includes a dedicated API Debugging category (VA-1 to VA-3) specifically designed to investigate 400 errors, request payload issues, and CORS or authentication failures.

Why would my Umbraco extension's Save button be missing?

The skill identifies 'Missing Save Button' (VW-1) as a common workspace issue and provides specific checks to ensure the workspace is correctly registered as editable.

What is the primary purpose of the Umbraco Validation Checks skill?

It provides a structured set of reference checks and debugging steps to help developers manually test Umbraco backoffice extensions within the browser environment.

How do I use this skill effectively during development?

You should load this skill before starting manual browser testing and use the symptom-based guide to determine which check files (like navigation or form-control) to reference.

Does this skill support automated testing?

While primarily focused on manual browser validation and debugging, it provides the logic and patterns required to build more robust automated end-to-end tests for Umbraco.
