Extension Toolkit for Command Palette

An opinionated set of hosting, lifecycle, startup, and diagnostics utilities for Command Palette extensions built on Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions.

The API may evolve alongside Command Palette. Preview releases can contain breaking changes.

Highlights

  • Complete host bootstrap — register the COM class factories and run the server message loop with minimal application code.
  • Correct lifetime and shutdown handling — monitor application lifetime, stop when the extension is disposed, unregister the COM server cleanly, and give Command Palette priority to release the extension during system shutdown.
  • Efficiency Mode support — optionally lower process priority and enable Windows Efficiency Mode (EcoQoS) for the extension process.
  • A useful direct-launch experience — open Command Palette or guide users to PowerToys instead of leaving an apparently unresponsive process.
  • Consistent host conventions — centralize debug detection and canonical data paths across every extension.
  • Logging without lock-in — use the built-in rolling file and Command Palette diagnostics, logging-neutral sinks, or optional Microsoft.Extensions.Logging and Serilog integrations.
  • Modern deployment support — target .NET 9 or .NET 10, including trimming and Native AOT on x64 and Arm64.

Compatibility

The Toolkit targets .NET 9 and .NET 10 on Windows. It is Native AOT-compatible and trimmable, with win-x64 and win-arm64 publishes verified for both target frameworks.

The main package does not pin a Windows SDK package version and does not depend on Windows App SDK, WebView2, Microsoft.Extensions.Logging, or Serilog.

Quick start

[MTAThread]
public static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
    await ExtensionHostRunner
        .CreateBuilder(
            args,
            new ExtensionHostRunnerParameters
            {
                PublisherMoniker = "MyCompany",
                ProductMoniker = "MyExtension",
            })
        .AddHostedExtensionFactory(context =>
            new MyExtension(context.ExtensionDisposedEvent))
        .RunAsync();
}

The default runner provides the COM server lifecycle, process monitoring, direct-launch fallback, Efficiency Mode, daily rolling files, and Command Palette diagnostics. Pass -Debug or set ExtensionHostRunnerParameters.IsDebug to enable debug entries consistently.
