ClaudeCodeExtension: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

ClaudeCodeExtension CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from dliedke/ClaudeCodeExtension. It costs 7,120 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Development instructions for a Visual Studio extension that embeds several AI coding assistants in Visual Studio. They describe the supported environment and require version and documentation updates when code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when building, testing, releasing, or modifying the extension, especially when changing integrations, documentation, or version-controlled release details.
Why use it?
They keep the extension’s version information aligned across its assembly, installer manifest, and README. This avoids releases whose displayed version or change history is inconsistent.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ClaudeCodeExtension CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CLAUDE.md - Claude Code Extension for Visual Studio

Project Overview

Visual Studio Extension (VSIX) for VS 2022/2026 — integrates AI code assistants (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor Agent, Open Code, Devin, PI, Google Antigravity, Reasonix, Qwen Code, and Grok) via a native chat tab driven by each CLI's headless protocol ("native mode", default since v179.0) or an embedded terminal (Win32 SetParent interop).

Step-by-step procedures for recurring tasks (release, Exp-hive debugging, publish, adding a provider/setting/UI file) live in docs/SKILLS.md. Short build/style brief for non-Claude agents: docs/AGENTS.md.


MANDATORY: Version & Documentation Updates

Every development session that modifies code MUST update before finishing:

Versioning scheme (since 11.0): each release bumps the MAJOR version by one — 22.0 → 23.0 → 24.0 and so on. Always use .0 as the minor (AssemblyVersion 24.0.0.0, manifest 24.0, README ### Version 24.0). Do not resume 10.x-style minor bumps.

  1. Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs: Bump AssemblyVersion and AssemblyFileVersion
  2. source.extension.vsixmanifest: Bump Version in <Identity> tag
  3. README.md: Add ### Version X.Y entry at top of ## Version History
    • Style: Short, business-focused. One sentence per bullet (two max). Describe the user-visible feature or fix, not the implementation.
    • Avoid: code/file/class/method names, internal selectors, file paths, constants, line numbers, JS snippets, framework jargon (CoreWebView2, INPUT_RECORD, NavigationCompleted, etc.), step-by-step "how it works" explanations, and PR-description-style root-cause analysis.
    • Keep: what the user gets ("auto-confirms proxy block screens"), opt-in/opt-out status, and the menu/setting name they interact with.
    • Technical details belong in commit messages and docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, not in release notes.
    • Other README sections (Features, Supported AI Providers, System Requirements, Settings & Menus, etc.): Edits MUST be minimal. Update only the exact line/bullet affected by the change. Do not rewrite paragraphs, expand explanations, add subsections, reorder content, or restructure tables. If a new provider/setting needs a row, add one row. If a feature description needs a word change, change the word. README is reference doc — keep it slim to avoid file bloat.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
