What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach for contributing and validating VS Code extension commands, ensuring consistent metadata, visibility, and localization guidance across commands.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized command metadata: every command must define a title and a category to guarantee discoverability in the Command Palette.
  • Command types and visibility patterns: Regular commands, and Side Bar commands with naming patterns like _extensionId.someCommand#sideBar, which require icons and appropriate enablement/when clauses.
  • Localization and accessibility guidance: covers localization considerations and UI behavior across locales.
  • Use Case: A maintainer adds a new command to a VS Code extension and ensures it is visible in the Command Palette with a proper category, or adds a Side Bar command with an icon and proper visibility rules.

Quick Start

Example: Add a Regular command named 'extension.sayHello' with a title 'Say Hello' and a category 'Utilities' so it appears in the Command Palette.
