Haste and Special Attacks

[Texas Snyper]

Haste gives the person 1 more Action but must be used for either a Strike or a Stride. I'm looking for clarification on if you can use this extra action for special attacks like Double Slice or Power Attack. They say "Make a Strike..." but do the actions spent to do the action count as a Strike action? Or is Haste limited to only just the basic Strike Action and basic Stride action?

Ability_name_here that causes a strike is not strike.

page 296 Activities:
An activity doesn’t count as any of its dependent actions r other abilities. For example, the quick condition you get from the haste spell lets you spend an extra action each turn to Stride or Strike, but you couldn’t use the extra action for an activity that includes a Stride or Strike. As another example, if you took an action that specified, “If the next action you use is a Strike,” an activity that includes a Strike wouldn’t count, because the next thing you are doing is starting an activity, not using the Strike basic action.

So, no, you can't use Double Slice or Power Attack
