To align your VS Code extension with the official API, apply documented interfaces during implementation and review. This enforces stable API usage and checks command activation events against official references to reduce memory-based assumptions.

The best way to avoid incorrect VS Code API usage is by following a doc-first approach. Ground your extension development in official documentation and stable API references to prevent errors from memory-based coding assumptions.

You check VS Code extension activation events and API contracts by reviewing your code against the official API references. This validates your implementation and ensures compliance with documented stable API contracts.

You need to reference official VS Code API documentation when building, modifying, or debugging extension code. It provides repeatable steps to verify correct API implementation and resolve issues using stable references.

Yes, this approach works for reviewing existing VS Code extension code. It directs reference usage to verify API contracts and ensures the codebase remains aligned with official VS Code documentation during modifications.
