System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you run the VS Code web workbench from a local development checkout so you can validate UI, browser, and Agents window changes without building a full desktop release.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local workbench startup: Launch the vscode.dev server against sibling VS Code sources for fast web-only iteration.
  • Browser-based validation: Exercise the workbench or Agents window in an integrated browser and verify interactions, logging, and cache behavior.
  • Mock agent testing: Connect the Agents window to a local mock agent host for offline testing of session flows and tool interactions.
  • Use Case: A developer changes a web workbench component, starts the local dev server, opens the dev URL, and confirms the UI behaves correctly against the updated source tree.

Quick Start

Start the local vscode-dev server from the vscode-dev checkout, then open the dev workbench URL with vscode-quality=dev in your browser.
