(this program is a failure yet)
I executed the project end-to-end as a solo contributor. I learned Chrome Manifest V3 and Chrome’s built-in AI sessions from scratch, implemented the six prompt “skills” (Prompt/Writer/Rewriter/Proofreader/Translator/Summarizer) behind a session manager, added a deterministic fallback for when on-device AI isn’t available, and built the privacy dashboard and DevTools panel to keep behavior transparent. I wrote the prompts, guardrails, and UX, handled local caching and integrations (GitHub/StackOverflow/MDN), and produced the docs, demo assets, and evaluation guide. The hardest part was climbing the learning curve while keeping the user experience fast, safe, and explainable.
