Create default.xml file at app/code/Vendor/Extension/view/frontend/layout/ and in layout file, write the below code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<head>
<css src="Vendor_Extension::css/extension.css"/>
<link src="Vendor_Extension::js/extension.js"/>
</head>
