SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires playwright-core.

What problem does it solve?

This skill coordinates and automates a CDP-based development cycle for VS Code extensions, enabling safe, deterministic agent-driven development with auditable steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-flight audits: Enforces readiness checks before any lifecycle operation to reduce misconfigurations.
  • Deterministic control: Provides a controlled command set (launch, wait-for-ready, dispatch, verify-state) to drive the development loop.
  • Robust logging & safety: Centralizes diagnostics and hydration checks to validate state during audits and restarts.

Quick Start

Launch the Extension Development Host, trigger a launch, and then run wait-for-ready to verify the system hydration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate agent-driven development for VS Code extensions?

Automate agent-driven development by coordinating a CDP-based development cycle that enforces pre-flight audits, state verification, and deterministic tooling to ensure safe extension development.

What are pre-flight audits in a CDP development cycle?

Pre-flight audits are readiness checks executed before any lifecycle operation. They reduce misconfigurations by validating state and hydration before launching the Extension Development Host.

How do I verify Extension Development Host hydration during automated testing?

Verify Extension Development Host hydration by triggering a launch and running a wait-for-ready command, which centralizes diagnostics and validates system state during audits and restarts.

Can I use Playwright to drive deterministic VS Code extension testing?

Yes, you can use Playwright alongside CDP to drive a deterministic development loop, utilizing a controlled command set including launch, wait-for-ready, dispatch, and verify-state.

Does cdp_dev_cycle support deterministic restarts for VS Code Extension Development Host workflows?

Yes, cdp_dev_cycle supports deterministic restarts by implementing a protocol that enforces pre-flight audits, state verification, and script-driven helpers for robust lifecycle management.
