SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up run commands for an Agent Session workspace requires manually editing .vscode/tasks.json with the correct schema, which is error-prone and easy to misconfigure. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automatic command inference: Detects the project stack from files like package.json, Makefile, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, and go.mod to propose appropriate setup and run commands. - Schema-correct task generation: Writes tasks with "inAgents": true so they appear in the session's Run button, and optionally "runOptions": { "runOn": "worktreeCreated" } for setup commands that run when a worktree is created. - Safe merging: Reads the existing .vscode/tasks.json first and merges new commands without overwriting unrelated tasks. - Use Case: A developer opens a Node.js workspace in a new Agent Session and wants a one-click dev server. The Skill detects package.json, adds an npm install setup task and an npm run dev run task, and both appear in the Run button. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to set up run commands for this workspace so they appear in the session's Run button.

Frequently Asked Questions about generate-run-commands

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add run commands to the session Run button?▼

Add a task to .vscode/tasks.json with "inAgents": true, which makes it appear in the session's Run button. The Skill can generate these tasks automatically by inspecting your project files.

How do I run a setup command automatically when a worktree is created?▼

Add "runOptions": { "runOn": "worktreeCreated" } to the task in tasks.json. This is typically used for install commands like npm install or pip install -r requirements.txt.

Does generating run commands overwrite my existing tasks.json?▼

No. The Skill reads the existing .vscode/tasks.json first and merges new run commands into it, leaving unrelated tasks untouched.

Which project types are detected for run command inference?▼

The Skill inspects package.json, Makefile, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, go.mod, and .nvmrc to infer the stack. If the project structure is ambiguous or non-standard, it asks the user before writing commands.

When should I modify run commands instead of generating new ones?▼

If tasks with "inAgents": true already exist in tasks.json, the request is treated as a modification. The Skill will ask whether you want to add, remove, or update an existing command.
