What problem does it solve? When working in an AI chat environment, opening a specific local file in VS Code at an exact line normally requires manual navigation or fragile UI automation. This Skill launches VS Code directly from the command line, routing both Windows paths and WSL paths (including \wsl.localhost UNC paths) to the correct editor context without Computer Use. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Explicit-invocation boundary: Runs only when the user explicitly asks to open a file in VS Code, never merely because a document was created, updated, or reviewed. - Windows and WSL path routing: Detects Linux paths and WSL UNC paths, validates the distribution, file, and workspace, and opens them through the official Remote - WSL extension. - Line and column targeting: Passes --goto coordinates so the editor tab opens at the relevant line and column while reusing an existing window. - Use Case: After reviewing a generated Markdown report, you ask to open it in VS Code at line 12; the helper validates the file and workspace, then opens the tab at that exact position. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to open a specific file in VS Code at a given line, for example by saying to open C:\path\to\document.md in VS Code at line 12.
