 To handle the difference in scope injection we expose multiple utilities which behave differently per browser in `src/utils.js` and `ContentFeature` base class. For Firefox the code exposed handles [xrays correctly](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Sharing_objects_with_page_scripts) without needing the features to be authored differently.
 
+## Development Setup
+
+### Repository Access
+
+1. **Clone the repository**: `https://github.com/duckduckgo/content-scope-scripts`
+2. **Request write-access** (for contributors): Submit a request via [Internal Support README](https://app.asana.com/1/137249556945/project/908478224964033/task/1209367367171662?focus=true) asking for `https://github.com/orgs/duckduckgo/teams/core` group access
+
+### Local Development Setup
+
+**Important**: Before cloning the repo on Windows, to avoid major headaches, make sure you clone it with unix-style line endings:
+
+```shell
+git clone --config core.autocrlf=false https://github.com/duckduckgo/content-scope-scripts
+```
+
+The Content Scope Scripts repo includes the build artifacts, which need to be generated as part of your commit.
+
+### Initial Setup
+
+Inside the repo, run:
+
+```shell
+npm ci  # Preferred over 'npm install' for accurate lockfile updates
+```
+
+Ensure you have a version of node that matches what's in the `.nvmrc` file.
+
+Now, to ensure everything's setup, try a full build:
+
+```shell
+npm run build
+```
+
+This will place built files into the top-level `build` folder. If this command ran successfully, you can continue with development.
+
+### Windows Development
+
+The tools should work on Windows, but if you have problems you _may_ wish to try using WSL.
+
+**Optional:**: Use Windows Subsystem for Linux - [WSL Installation Guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install)
+
+Once you have WSL running, make sure you have node and make installed:
+
+```shell
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install make
+```
+
+For Node.js installation: [How to Install Node.js on Ubuntu/Debian](https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-node-js-on-ubuntu-debian/)
+
+Once node is installed, navigate to the repo path (e.g., `/mnt/c/dev/git/content-scope-scripts`) and:
+
+```shell
+npm install    # Install packages
+npm run build  # Build JS artifacts
+```
+
+After this, you can commit the generated files from your Windows environment through the usual git tools.
+
+### Docker Alternative
+
+If you don't want to install npm on your machine, you can use Docker instead:
+
+```shell
+docker run -it --rm -v "<repo root>/submodules/content-scope-scripts:/content-scope-scripts" node:latest /bin/bash
+
+root@<id>:/# cd /content-scope-scripts
+root@<id>:/content-scope-scripts# npm install
+root@<id>:/content-scope-scripts# npm run build
+```

+
+The following is a guideline for when using native JavaScript syntax or built-in global DOM objects. Testing is always advised, but code authors might be unable to replicate the code on the correct application environments (due to hardware or an updated local environment).

+## Test Builds for Ship Review
+
+Test builds are created with a GitHub workflow. The assets for Content Scope Scripts will be created on demand if they are absent (which they will be, if you're pointing to a branch of CSS).

+1. Commit any changes to CSS and push a branch to the remote

+### Adding Breakpoints
+
+If you drop a `debugger;` line in the scripts and open DevTools window, the DevTools will breakpoint and navigate to that exact line in code when the debug point has been hit.

+### Verifying CSS is Loaded

+# Special Pages
+
+## Overview
+
+Special Pages gives us a single place to implement isolated HTML/CSS/Javascript projects that can be loaded into a web context that has privileged access to API.
+
+## Getting Started with Special Pages Development
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Before starting Special Pages development, ensure you have completed the initial setup:
+
+> **Repository access and initial setup**: See [Development Utilities - Development Setup](../injected/docs/development-utilities.md#development-setup) for repository access, cloning, and initial build setup.
+
+### Step 1: Make a Change to the 'Example' Special Page
+
+Edit the file `App.jsx` within `special-pages/pages/example/app/components`
+
+### Step 2: Rebuild
+
+Since Content Scope Scripts contains additional projects, you can just rebuild the special-pages parts:
+
+```shell
+cd special-pages
+npm run build
+```
+
+### Step 3: Review Your Change
+
+Still within `special-pages`, you can now serve the built pages:
+
+```shell
+npm run serve
+```
+
+Then access the Example page you edited via: `http://127.0.0.1:3210/example/`
+
+> **Note**: The output of the build command is just plain HTML/CSS/JS, so you can serve the build directory in any way that suits you.
+
+### Step 4: Watch Mode
+
+The build command builds every special page, but to run just 1 in isolation:
+
+```shell
+npm run watch -- --page=<page-directory-name>
+```
+
+Check the terminal for the dev URL, but it's normally `localhost:8000`.
+
+> **Note**: Any changes you make here will not be automatically reflected in the build folder output.
+
+### Step 5: Create a PR + Preview the Change
+
+Content Scope Scripts uses Netlify preview deployments, so opening a PR will create a preview URL.
+
+During the deployment:
+- Docs are generated
+- All special pages are built
+
+When you access the Netlify URL, you'll land on the docs homepage. Append `/build/pages/example` to the URL to see the changes you made to the Example application.
+
+**Example URLs:**
+- Preview: `https://content-scope-scripts.netlify.app/build/pages/example/`
+- Production: `https://content-scope-scripts.netlify.app`
+
 ## Architecture
 
 Special Pages gives us a single place to implement isolated HTML/CSS/Javascript projects that can be loaded into a web context that has privileged access to API.
