Browser Extension
Work the Nimbus loop from a side panel while you browse your target.
What the extension is
The browser extension puts the vault next to the target. Instead of switching between your notes and the application you're testing, a side panel lets you map components, read suggestions, and record outcomes without leaving the page.
It is built for Chrome (Manifest V3) and connects to the same workspace as the web app — same account, same permissions.
The extension is in a **limited rollout**: it is not listed publicly yet and is distributed to users directly. If you'd like access, ask in the workspace or reach out to the team.
What you can do from the panel
- See the proactive checklist for the asset you're working, and resolve prompts in place — ticking a component links it to the asset immediately.
- Read ranked suggestions for the current target, including chain-tagged playbooks, and open them inline to review requirements and the body.
- Record outcomes — mark playbooks successful, failed, or not applicable, and grant earned primitives when yields come with a choice.
- Watch the vault update — a link you add from the panel sharpens suggestions on the web app the moment you switch back.
How it fits the loop
The extension does not replace the web app — it removes the context switch from the mapping stage. Longer sessions, authoring, and workspace administration stay in the web app; the panel is for the moment you're staring at the target and want to record what you see.
What's next
- Map an Asset — the mapping flow the panel accelerates.
- AI Agent Connections — the other way Nimbus meets you outside the app.
