小红 — RedNote Tweakis a cross-browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) that enhances the Xiaohongshu (小红书) web experience with search improvements and UI cleanup. Features include keyboard shortcuts for search, right-click context menu search, tab placement control, and toggles for hiding feed content, sidebar elements, and notifications — all configurable from the popup. Built with WXT on top of Vite.
- Framework: WXT — browser extension framework with Vite under the hood
- UI (Popup): Vue 3 Composition API +
<script setup>+ TypeScript - Components: shadcn-vue (New York style) + reka-ui + Lucide icons
- Styling: UnoCSS (Preset Wind 3) + unocss-preset-shadcn
- State: wxt/storage wrapped in Vue composables (
useStoredValue,useFeature,useFeatureMap) - i18n: vue-i18n with JSON locale files in
assets/locales/and extension manifest messages inpublic/_locales/ - Tooling: Vite+ (
vp) — see section below - Package Manager: pnpm (via Vite+
vp add/vp install)

Auto-imports: This project uses
unimport(via WXT) to handle auto-imports.By default, WXT sets up auto-imports for its own APIs as well as selected project directories, including:
<srcDir>/components/* <srcDir>/composables/* <srcDir>/utils/*Vue APIs (
ref,computed,watch, etc.) are automatically handled via@wxt-dev/module-vue.In addition, shared modules in
shared/are auto-imported viaimports.dirs, and components incomponents/are auto-registered viaunplugin-vue-components.As a result, all named and default exports from these locations are available globally across the project without explicit imports in
.vuefiles.Do not import them manually. If you encounter type errors, run
vp run postinstall(wxt prepare) to regenerate types, or restart the dev server. Only investigate further if the issue persists. -
Use Standard Components: Prioritize provided components for consistency. As needed, add new ones to
components/ui/via shadcn-vue. You can retrieve shadcn-vue skills from.agents/skills/shadcn-vueor utilize its MCP server. -
Adding a feature:
- Define the feature key and metadata in
shared/const.tsunder aFEATURE_GROUPSentry - Create an implementation file in
entrypoints/rednote.content/impl/ - Export it from
impl/index.ts - Add it to the
featureRegistrationsarray inentrypoints/rednote.content/features.ts - Add i18n keys to
assets/locales/*.json - If the feature needs a popup toggle, add the corresponding UI
- Define the feature key and metadata in
-
Utility helpers:
utils/index.tsexportscn()— aclsx+tailwind-mergehelper for merging CSS classes.- State composables are in
composables/:useStoredValue(generic wxt/storage wrapper with async init) anduseFeature/useFeatureMap(typed feature-flag composables).

Commit messages: Use two Conventional Commit sections separated by blank lines: an English subject and description first, followed by a Chinese subject with the same type/scope and its Chinese description. This lets release-please extract both language subjects into the changelog.
vp install # Install dependencies

vpr is an alias for vp run and can be used to run any script defined in package.json.
This project is using Vite+, a unified toolchain built on top of Vite, Rolldown, Vitest, tsdown, Oxlint, Oxfmt, and Vite Task. Vite+ wraps runtime management, package management, and frontend tooling in a single global CLI called vp. Vite+ is distinct from Vite, but it invokes Vite through vp dev and vp build.
vp is a global binary that handles the full development lifecycle. Run vp help to print a list of commands and vp <command> --help for information about a specific command.
- create - Create a new project from a template
- migrate - Migrate an existing project to Vite+
- config - Configure hooks and agent integration
- staged - Run linters on staged files
- install (
i) - Install dependencies - env - Manage Node.js versions
- dev - Run the development server
- check - Run format, lint, and TypeScript type checks
- lint - Lint code
- fmt - Format code
- test - Run tests
- run - Run monorepo tasks
- exec - Execute a command from local
node_modules/.bin - dlx - Execute a package binary without installing it as a dependency
- cache - Manage the task cache
- build - Build for production
- pack - Build libraries
- preview - Preview production build
Vite+ automatically detects and wraps the underlying package manager such as pnpm, npm, or Yarn through the packageManager field in package.json or package manager-specific lockfiles.
- add - Add packages to dependencies
- remove (
rm,un,uninstall) - Remove packages from dependencies - update (
up) - Update packages to latest versions - dedupe - Deduplicate dependencies
- outdated - Check for outdated packages
- list (
ls) - List installed packages - why (
explain) - Show why a package is installed - info (
view,show) - View package information from the registry - link (
ln) / unlink - Manage local package links - pm - Forward a command to the package manager
- upgrade - Update
vpitself to the latest version
These commands map to their corresponding tools. For example, vp dev --port 3000 runs Vite's dev server and works the same as Vite. vp test runs JavaScript tests through the bundled Vitest. The version of all tools can be checked using vp --version. This is useful when researching documentation, features, and bugs.
- Using the package manager directly: Do not use pnpm, npm, or Yarn directly. Vite+ can handle all package manager operations.
- Always use Vite commands to run tools: Don't attempt to run
vp vitestorvp oxlint. They do not exist. Usevp testandvp lintinstead. - Running scripts: Vite+ built-in commands (
vp dev,vp build,vp test, etc.) always run the Vite+ built-in tool, not anypackage.jsonscript of the same name. To run a custom script that shares a name with a built-in command, usevp run <script>. For example, if you have a customdevscript that runs multiple services concurrently, run it withvp run dev, notvp dev(which always starts Vite's dev server). - Do not install Vitest, Oxlint, Oxfmt, or tsdown directly: Vite+ wraps these tools. They must not be installed directly. You cannot upgrade these tools by installing their latest versions. Always use Vite+ commands.
- Use Vite+ wrappers for one-off binaries: Use
vp dlxinstead of package-manager-specificdlx/npxcommands. - Import JavaScript modules from
vite-plus: Instead of importing fromviteorvitest, all modules should be imported from the project'svite-plusdependency. For example,import { defineConfig } from 'vite-plus';orimport { expect, test, vi } from 'vite-plus/test';. You must not installvitestto import test utilities. - Type-Aware Linting: There is no need to install
oxlint-tsgolint,vp lint --type-awareworks out of the box.
