- “/vscode-ext-commands”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Vscode Ext Commands loads about 387 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 198 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

VS Code extension command contribution
This skill helps you to contribute commands in VS Code extensions
When to use this skill
Use this skill when you need to:
- Add or update commands to your VS Code extension
Instructions
VS Code commands must always define a title, independent of its category, visibility or location. We use a few patterns for each "kind" of command, with some characteristics, described below:
Regular commands: By default, all commands should be accessible in the Command Palette, must define a
category, and don't need anicon, unless the command will be used in the Side Bar.Side Bar commands: Its name follows a special pattern, starting with underscore (
_) and suffixed with#sideBar, like_extensionId.someCommand#sideBarfor instance. Must define anicon, and may or may not have some rule forenablement. Side Bar exclusive commands should not be visible in the Command Palette. Contributing it to theview/titleorview/item/context, we must inform order/position that it will be displayed, and we can use terms "relative to other command/button" in order to you identify the correctgroupto be used. Also, it's a good practice to define the condition (when) for the new command is visible.
