Hey Carlos, Thanks for the feedback, the only packages the extension depends on is a python websocket-client library and python dbus/go-object library which is required by the extension to communicate with the Mycroft Service and Messagebus which is a one time install from within the extension itself. Mycroft Ai is a voice/text assistant much the same like available on other platforms for Linux and has its own voice/text application client which runs from the shell. The extension is only a GUI front-end of the application which allows a user to send string based queries to mycroft from the extension and receive string based replies. I understand your concern with installing packages from within an extension but rewriting an already available application seems quite a task just for text based communication.
As I couldn't find a way to natively implement Websockets in GJS/Clutter i had to utilize the python websocket-client library and dbus for communication, if there is a workaround to directly being able to use websockets to send and receive strings I would gladly switch over. One workaround I can do is by mentioning the install instructions in the description and letting the user themselves install the libraries based on their distributions without having to install dependencies from a script within the extension itself.

There is calls for sudo to install packages and all, I don't think an extension should be allowed to do that, and instead creating an application is the way to go. If you want integration with gnome-shell you can create a package of your extension and make your application depend on that, so distributions and package managers get it right. I won't reject neither approve it, since it's been long since I review some extension. Just my 2cents.
