What it does
Vscode Ext Localization is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Guidelines for proper localization of VS Code extensions, following VS Code extension development guidelines, libraries and good practices
Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Internationalization. It works with Visual Studio Code. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Internationalization
Example prompts
- “Use the vscode-ext-localization skill to guideline for proper localization of VS Code extensions, following VS Code extension development…”
- “/vscode-ext-localization”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Configurations like Settings, Commands, Menus, Views, ViewsWelcome, Walkthrough Titles and Descriptions, defined in package.json
- Walkthrough content (defined in its own Markdown files)
- Messages and string located in extension source code (JavaScript or TypeScript files)
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 Localization loads about 369 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 163 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 localization
This skill helps you localize every aspect of VS Code extensions
When to use this skill
Use this skill when you need to:
- Localize new or existing contributed configurations (settings), commands, menus, views or walkthroughs
- Localize new or existing messages or other string resources contained in extension source code that are displayed to the end user
Instructions
VS Code localization is composed by three different approaches, depending on the resource that is being localized. When a new localizable resource is created or updated, the corresponding localization for all currently available languages must be created/updated.
- Configurations like Settings, Commands, Menus, Views, ViewsWelcome, Walkthrough Titles and Descriptions, defined in
