Umbraco Kinds

This helps Claude implement Umbraco's Kind system, which is essentially a preset configuration pattern that lets you define shared defaults across multiple backoffice extensions. Instead of repeating the same properties in every extension manifest, you create a Kind once and reference it. The skill fetches the latest official Umbraco docs before generating code, which is smart given how CMS documentation tends to drift. It covers the basic pattern of registering kinds with matchType and matchKind properties, then using them in extensions with the kind field. Most useful when you're building multiple similar extensions like dashboard cards or header buttons and want consistent defaults without copy-pasting manifest boilerplate everywhere.
