Build from Source

Each extension folder contains a standard TypeScript project:

npm run build       # compiles src/extension.ts → dist/extension.js

To package as .ablx:

zip cue-templates.ablx manifest.json dist/extension.js

Design System

All extensions follow the Electric Dark design system defined in design/DESIGN.md — high-contrast dark UI optimized for studio environments.
