Bedframe - Make, Version & Publish cross-browser extensions continously with ease bedframe-cli

Bedframe is a Vite-based framework for building, versioning, and publishing cross-browser extensions from one project.

Bedframe is built around the B.E.D. model:

  • Browser: browser targets and per-browser manifest deltas
  • Extension: extension type, pages, scripts, runtime surface
  • Development: framework, language, tooling, testing, release flow

This repository contains the framework monorepo, including:

  • @bedframe/cli for project scaffolding and workflows (make, dev, build, zip, version, publish)
  • @bedframe/core for core APIs, plugin helpers, and shared types
  • @bedframe/skills for portable agent-ready Bedframe guidance (AGENTS.md + skills references)

Getting Started

Install the Bedframe CLI globally with your package manager of choice:

# pnpm
pnpm add -g @bedframe/cli

# npm
npm install -g @bedframe/cli

# yarn
yarn global add @bedframe/cli

# bun
bun add -g @bedframe/cli

Create a project:

Then run the standard flow in your new project:

bedframe dev
bedframe build
bedframe zip

For release workflows:

bedframe version
bedframe publish --browsers chrome,firefox,edge
