Guidance for adding chat and AI features to VS Code while respecting the setting that disables AI features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or reviewing chat surfaces, agent interfaces, AI commands, menus, or other AI-powered UI.
Why use it?
It prevents AI commands, views, and other interface elements from appearing when users have turned AI features off.

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

nyrve chat.instructions.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 2d ago.

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.

What it actually says

  • When adding a new chat/AI feature like a new surface where chat or agents appear, a new AI command, etc, these features must not show up for users when they've disabled AI features. The best way to do this is to gate the feature on the context key ChatContextKeys.enabled via a when clause.
  • When doing a code review for code that adds an AI feature, please ensure that the feature is properly gated.

Hiding AI Features When Disabled

When surfacing a UI AI feature, ensure the feature hides when chat.disableAIFeatures is set:

  • UI Hiding: Use ChatContextKeys.enabled in when conditions to conditionally show/hide UI elements (commands, views, menu items, etc.)
    • Example: when: ChatContextKeys.enabled in action/command registration
    • This context key is false when AI features are disabled
  • Programmatic Hiding: Check IChatEntitlementService.sentiment.hidden to determine if AI features should be hidden
    • sentiment.hidden is true when the user signals no intent in using Chat
    • This should not only disable Chat but also hide all of its UI

This ensures consistency when implementing AI-powered UI functionality across the codebase.

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.
