When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user wants to start a new VS Code extension project. This is the first step in the development workflow.

How to use this skill

  1. Ask for Project Name: If the user hasn't provided a name, ask for it (e.g., "my-awesome-extension").
  2. Execute Initialization Command: Run the following command to scaffold the project non-interactively.
# Replace <project-name> with the actual name
npx --package yo --package generator-code -- yo code <project-name> --template typescript --quick
  1. Post-Initialization:
    • Change directory into the new project:
      cd <project-name>
    • Explain the structure briefly:
      • src/extension.ts
        : Main entry point.
      • package.json
        : Manifest file.
    • Run
      npm install
      (if not already done by the generator, though
      --quick
      usually handles it).

Example Interaction

User: "Create a new vscode extension named helper" Agent: "I'll initialize the project for you. Running:

npx --package yo --package generator-code -- yo code helper --template typescript --quick
... Project created! You can now start adding features."
