 ## Content scripts
 
-### Isolated worlds
+<dfn>Content scripts</dfn> represent a set of JS and CSS files that should be injected into matching pages loaded by the user agent. They are injected using the steps in [[#inject-a-content-script]].
+
+### Key `matches`
+
+A [=list=] of [=match patterns=] that are used to decide which pages the user agent injects the content script into. This key is required.
+
+### Key `exclude_matches`
+
+A [=list=] of [=match patterns=] that should be used to exclude URLs from where the content script runs.
+
+### Key `js`
+
+A [=list=] of file paths, relative to the extension's package, that should be injected as scripts.
+
+### Key `css`
+
+A [=list=] of file paths, relative to the extension's package, that should be injected as stylesheets.
+
+### Key `all_frames`
+
+If `all_frames` is true, the content script must be injected into any subframes that match the other matching criteria for the content script. If false, content scripts will only be injected into top-level documents. Defaults to false.
+
+### Key `match_about_blank`
+
+If this is true, use the URL of the parent frame when matching a child frame whose document URL is `about:blank` or `about:srcdoc`. See also [[#determine-the-url-for-content-script-matching]]. Defaults to `false`.
+
+### Key `match_origin_as_fallback`
+
+If this is true, use fallbacks as described in [[#determine-the-url-for-content-script-matching]].
+
+No path is available when the URL to match against falls back to an origin. Therefore, when set, the user agent may treat a [[#key-matches]] with a path other than `/*` as an error.
+
+Defaults to `false`.
+
+### Key `run_at`
+
+Specifies when the content script should be injected. Valid values are defined by the {{RunAt}} enum.
+
+### Key `include_globs`
+
+A list of [=globs=] that a document should match. A document matches if the URL matches both the [[#key-matches]] field and the [[#key-include_globs]] field.
+
+### Key `exclude_globs`
+
+A list of [=globs=] that should be used to exclude URLs from where the content script runs.
+
+### Key `world`
+
+The [=world=] any JavaScript scripts should be injected into. Defaults to `ISOLATED`. Valid values are defined by the {{ExecutionWorld}} enum.
+
+### <dfn>RunAt</dfn> enum
+
+<pre class="idl">
+enum RunAt {
+    "document_start",
+    "document_end",
+    "document_idle"
+};
+</pre>
+
+The {{RunAt}} enum represents when a content script should be injected.
+
+### <dfn>ExecutionWorld</dfn> enum
+
+<pre class="idl">
+enum ExecutionWorld {
+    "ISOLATED",
+    "MAIN"
+};
+</pre>
+
+The {{ExecutionWorld}} enum represents a JavaScript [=world=].

+## Determine the URL for content script matching
+
+To determine the URL to use for a document when injecting a content script:
+
+1. Let |url| be the document's URL.
+1. If |url| is `about:blank` or `about:srcdoc`, and `match_about_blank` or `match_origin_as_fallback` is set to true:
+    1. Set |url| to a URL based on the precursor origin.
+1. If the [=scheme=] of |url| is `data` and `match_origin_as_fallback` is set to true:
+    1. Set |url| to be a URL based on the precursor origin.
+1. If the [=scheme=] of |url| is `filesystem` or `blob` and `match_origin_as_fallback` is set to true:
+    1. Set |url| to be a URL based on the precursor origin.
+1. Return |url|.
+
+## Inject a content script
+
+Issue: If the same extension specifies the same script twice, what should happen? ([bug](https://crbug.com/324096753))
+
+To determine if a content script should be injected in a document:
+
+1. Let |url| be the result of running [[#determine-the-url-for-content-script-matching]].
+1. If the extension does not have access to the origin, return.
+1. If |url| is not matched by a match pattern in `matches`, return.
+1. If `include_globs` is present and |url| is not matched by any glob pattern, return.
+1. If |url| matches an entry in `exclude_matches` or `exclude_globs`, return.
+1. If this is a child frame, and `all_frames` is not `true`, return.
+1. Otherwise, inject the content script. This should be done based on the `run_at` setting.
