awesome-vscode is a curated catalogue of packages and resources for Visual Studio Code, including extensions, themes, language tools, and productivity utilities. Developers use it to find tools for customizing their editor and supporting particular technologies.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00515 | $0.00515 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00258 | $0.00258 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00103 | $0.00103 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00052 | $0.00052 |
Grade A, and why
awesome-vscode 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 6d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md
What this repo is
An Awesome List of Visual Studio Code
extensions and resources. README.md is the product — there is no source
code, no build step, and no app to run. Edits almost always mean editing
README.md.
Adding an entry
Use this exact format (see CONTRIBUTING.md):
#### [Title of the package](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=NAME)
> A short description of what this package does and why it is awesome.
Rules:
- Link to the VS Code Marketplace (
marketplace.visualstudio.com), not the GitHub repo. - Place the entry in the most fitting section; if none fits, use
uncategorized. - Keep entries in alphabetical order within their section.
- Include a
.gif/screenshot demonstrating functionality when possible.
Table of Contents
The ToC at the top of README.md is maintained by hand and must be updated
when sections are added, removed, or renamed. Anchors are GitHub-slugified
(lowercase, spaces → -, most punctuation stripped; duplicates get a -1
suffix).
Themes
- Prefer a vscodethemes link, else the Marketplace.
- Alphabetical order; one theme per publisher.
- Include a similar-style screenshot (template assets under
themes/).
Linting / CI
- markdownlint config is
.markdownlint.json. Several rules are disabled on purpose (HTML allowed, line-length off, duplicate headings allowed, etc.) — don't "fix" these by reformatting. - CI (
.travis.yml) runsawesome_bot README.mdto check that all links resolve. Adding a dead or wrong link will fail the build. A whitelist of known-flaky domains lives in.travis.yml.
Conventions for changes
- This is a PR-driven community repo: keep diffs minimal and scoped to the entry/section being changed.
- Match the surrounding markdown style exactly (heading levels,
>blockquote descriptions, spacing). - Do not commit unless explicitly asked.
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.
