Pull request overview
This PR adds comprehensive documentation for the Extension Manager, a built-in platform extension that enables goose to dynamically discover, enable, and disable extensions during active sessions. This documentation fills a gap in the MCP extension guides, helping users understand how goose can automatically manage extensions based on their tasks rather than requiring manual configuration.
- Documents the Extension Manager's purpose and benefits in managing extension bloat
- Provides configuration instructions for both goose Desktop and CLI interfaces
- Includes a practical example demonstrating automatic GitHub extension enablement

The description for search_available_extensions should match the tool's actual description. The actual tool description is "Searches for additional extensions available to help complete tasks." The current description "Discover extensions that can be enabled or disabled" is less accurate.

The description for manage_extensions should match the tool's actual description. The actual tool description is "Tool to manage extensions and tools in goose context. Enable or disable extensions to help complete tasks." The current description "Enable or disable an extension by name" is incomplete.
Suggested change
| | `manage_extensions` | Enable or disable an extension by name | Loading/unloading extensions dynamically | | |
| | `manage_extensions` | Tool to manage extensions and tools in goose context. Enable or disable extensions to help complete tasks. | Loading/unloading extensions dynamically | |
