What it does

Wxt is an agent skill from mengxi-ream/read-frog. Build browser extensions with WXT - a next-gen framework with file-based entrypoints, Vite builds, auto-imports, typed storage with migrations, content script UIs, and multi-browser MV2/MV3 support.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including reference files (for example `GENERATION.md`, `references/config.md` and `references/content-scripts.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Browser extensions. It works with Vite, Chrome Extensions and React. The repository describes itself as: 🐸 Read Frog - Language Learning & Translate | 🐸 陪读蛙 - 语言学习与翻译. The licence is GPL-3.0.

Requirements

Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 56f29ed. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Wxt loads about 500 tokens when it runs, and up to ~16k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 118 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~500
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~16k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

WXT - Browser Extension Framework

When to Use

Apply this skill when:

Project has wxt.config.ts in root
Code uses defineBackground, defineContentScript, defineUnlistedScript
package.json has wxt as a dependency
Entrypoints directory contains extension entry files
Code imports from #imports or wxt/*

Quick Reference

Topic	Reference
Configuration, manifest, env vars, TypeScript	references/config.md
Entrypoints (background, HTML pages, unlisted)	references/entrypoints.md
Content scripts (UI, main world, SPA)	references/content-scripts.md
Storage API, defineItem, migrations, watchers	references/storage.md
Messaging (cross-context communication)	references/messaging.md
Testing with WxtVitest and fakeBrowser	references/testing.md
WXT modules (using and creating)	references/modules.md
Multi-browser builds and runtime detection	references/multi-browser.md
Vue, React, Svelte, Solid setup	references/frontend-frameworks.md
Common patterns and anti-patterns	references/patterns.md

Most Common Pattern

// entrypoints/background.ts
export default defineBackground({
  main() {
    // ALL runtime code must be inside main() - cannot be async
    browser.runtime.onInstalled.addListener(() => {
      console.log('Extension installed');
    });
  },
});

Critical: main() cannot be async. Code outside main() runs at build time in Node.js.

When should I use Wxt?

Wxt fits situations like: tasks that involve Browser extensions.

How do I install Wxt in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add mengxi-ream/read-frog --skill wxt -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/wxt in mengxi-ream/read-frog) into .claude/skills/wxt in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Wxt in Codex?

Run `npx skills add mengxi-ream/read-frog --skill wxt -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/wxt in mengxi-ream/read-frog) into .agents/skills/wxt in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Wxt in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add mengxi-ream/read-frog --skill wxt -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/wxt, .gemini/skills/wxt, .github/skills/wxt and .opencode/skills/wxt in your project.

What does Wxt need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Wxt is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Node.js.

Does Wxt access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Wxt safe to install?

What licence does Wxt use?

Wxt is published under the GPL-3.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Wxt use?

About 500 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 15k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
