Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned medusajs/medusa-claude-plugins at e9c28cc8ef.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to build custom user interface (UI) extensions for the MedusaJS Admin dashboard. It leverages the Admin SDK and Medusa UI components to create tailored admin experiences, including widgets, pages, forms, and navigation elements. This is specifically focused on admin dashboard development, not backend API route creation or storefront modifications.

When to use it

This skill is valuable for:

  • Creating custom widgets for product, order, or customer pages within the Medusa Admin dashboard.
  • Building entirely new admin pages with specific functionality.
  • Implementing forms and modals for data entry and interaction.
  • Displaying data using tables or lists in a customized format.
  • Adding navigation links between different sections of the admin dashboard.

Key capabilities

  • Creating widgets, custom pages, forms, and modals within the Medusa Admin dashboard.
  • Implementing custom navigation elements.
  • Utilizing Medusa UI components for consistent styling and functionality.
  • Provides guidance on best practices for structuring admin UI features.
  • Highlights critical rules to avoid common mistakes in implementation (e.g., conditional display queries).

Example prompts

  • "How do I create a custom widget to display recent customer orders?"
  • "What's the process for building a new admin page for managing product discounts?"
  • "Can you show me how to implement a modal form for creating new customers?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Reference Files are Essential: Before writing code, always load relevant reference files (data-loading.md, forms.md, display-patterns.md, table-selection.md, navigation.md, typography.md) based on the specific task at hand. The quick reference provided is not sufficient for implementation.
  • SDK Configuration is Critical: Ensure the SDK client configuration in src/admin/lib/client.ts uses exact values; incorrect configurations will cause errors.
  • Planning First: Consult this skill first for planning and understanding admin UI feature structure, rather than relying solely on the MedusaDocs MCP server.
