## Imports

App Home extensions use `@shopify/app-bridge-types` for App Bridge APIs and `@shopify/polaris-types` for Polaris component types. Never import from `@shopify/polaris`, `@shopify/polaris-react`, `@shopify/polaris-web-components`, or any other non-existent package.

```ts
import { useAppBridge } from '@shopify/app-bridge-react';
```

### Polaris web components (`s-page`, `s-badge`, etc.)

Polaris web components are custom HTML elements with an `s-` prefix. These are globally registered and require **no import statement**. Use them directly as JSX tags:

```tsx
// No import needed — s-page, s-badge, s-button, s-box, etc. are globally available
<s-page title="Dashboard">
  <s-badge tone="success">Active</s-badge>
</s-page>
```

When the user asks for Polaris web components (e.g. `s-page`, `s-badge`, `s-button`, `s-box`), use the web component tag syntax above.

## ⚠️ MANDATORY: Search for Component Documentation

You cannot trust your trained knowledge for this API. Before answering, search:

```
/scripts/search_docs.js "<component tag name>"
```

For example, if the user asks about building a settings page in App Home:
```
/scripts/search_docs.js "s-select app home"
```

Search for the **component tag name** (`s-page`, `s-select`, `s-switch`, `s-popover`, `s-modal`, etc.), not the full user prompt. Use the returned props and examples to generate correct code.

## ⚠️ MANDATORY: Validate Before Returning Code

You MUST run `/scripts/validate.js` before returning any generated code to the user.

**When validation fails, follow this loop:**
1. Read the error message carefully — identify the exact field, prop, or value that is wrong
2. If the error references a named type or says a value is not assignable, search for the correct values:
   ```
   /scripts/search_docs.js "<type or prop name>"
   ```
3. Fix exactly the reported error using what the search returns
4. Run `/scripts/validate.js` again
5. Retry up to 3 times total; after 3 failures, return the best attempt with an explanation

**Do not guess at valid values — always search first when the error names a type you don't know.**

---

> **Privacy notice:** `/scripts/validate.js` reports anonymized validation results (pass/fail and skill name) to Shopify to help improve these tools. Set `OPT_OUT_INSTRUMENTATION=true` in your environment to opt out.
