Diplo.GodMode 17.1.0

Diplo God Mode

Diplo God Mode makes Umbraco developers invincible!

Diplo God Mode adds a developer-focused tree to the Settings section of Umbraco 17. It helps you inspect, search, and understand the structure of an Umbraco site from inside the backoffice, including document types, compositions, templates, partial views, data types, property editors, media, members, tags, custom controllers, registered services, generated models, diagnostics, and configuration.

If Umbraco is an Allen key then God Mode is the swiss army knife that helps you get under the hood and understand how things are working, find issues, and speed up development.

Now with optional God Mode AI add-on for contextual explanations powered by Umbraco.AI.

This 17.x package is the Umbraco 17 / .NET 10 version and has been rebuilt for the modern Umbraco backoffice with Lit, TypeScript, Vite, and Umbraco extension manifests.

Features

• Quickly search document types, templates, editors, media, content, members, and tags.
• See document type inheritance, composition usage, data type usage, and property editor usage.
• Distinguish between element types and types that vary by culture or segment.
• Browse templates, partials, controllers, generated models, registered services, Content Finders, and URL providers.
• View content, media, and members in searchable/filterable tables.
• List tags and the content associated with each tag, including orphaned tags.
• Inspect diagnostics, server details, and configuration values, with optional redaction for sensitive settings.
• Clear Umbraco caches and restart the app where supported.
• Add contextual AI explanations by installing the separate Diplo.GodMode.AI companion package.

Requirements and Dependencies

This version targets:

• .NET 10 (net10.0)
• Umbraco 17

The package supports Umbraco 17.x and declares its Umbraco CMS dependencies as [17.0.0,18.0.0). Client-side build tooling such as Vite, TypeScript, and @umbraco-cms/backoffice is used only when building this repository and is not required by consuming Umbraco sites.

The core package does not depend on Diplo.GodMode.AI. Without the AI add-on installed, God Mode renders no AI controls. Version guide:

• 13.x is for Umbraco 13 / .NET 8.
• 10.x is for Umbraco 10, 11, and 12 / .NET 6.

Installation

Install from NuGet:

After installation, restart the site and open the Umbraco backoffice. God Mode appears in the Settings section. The package manifest is served from:

Optional God Mode AI Add-On

The optional God Mode AI add-on adds contextual Explain buttons powered by Umbraco.AI.

Install from NuGet:

dotnet add package Diplo.GodMode.AI

To use it, configure the free Umbraco.AI with a provider connection and profile first. For example, install the OpenAI provider, create an OpenAI connection in the Umbraco backoffice, then create a profile that uses a model such as gpt-4.1-nano.
