Visual Studio Code is a code editor that supports editing, navigating, understanding, debugging, and extending software projects. Developers use it for the edit-build-debug cycle, and the catalogue add-ons provide skills, instructions, and agents for working within the editor.
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 | $0.00052 | $0.00708 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00354 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00142 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00071 |
Grade A, and why
commit scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Commit Changes
Help the user commit code changes with a well-crafted commit message derived from the diff, following the conventions already established in the repository.
Guidelines
- Never amend existing commits without asking.
- Never force-push or push without explicit user approval.
- Never skip pre-commit hooks (do not use
--no-verify). - Never skip signing commits (do not use
--no-gpg-sign). - Never revert, reset, or discard user changes unless the user explicitly asked for that.
- Check for obvious secrets or generated artifacts that should not be committed. If something looks risky - ask the user.
- When in doubt about staging, convention, or message content — ask the user.
Workflow
1. Discover the repository's commit convention
Run the following to sample recent commits and the user's own commits:
# Recent repo commits (for overall style)
git log --oneline -20
# User's recent commits (for personal style)
git log --oneline --author="$(git config user.name)" -10
Analyse the output to determine the commit message convention used in the repository (e.g. Conventional Commits, Gitmoji, ticket-prefixed, free-form). All generated messages must follow the detected convention.
2. Check repository status
git status --short
- If there are no changes (working tree clean, nothing staged), inform the user and stop.
- If there are staged changes, proceed with those and do not stage any unstaged changes.
- If there are only unstaged changes, stage everything (
git add -A), and proceed with those.
3. Generate the commit message
Obtain the full diff of what will be committed:
git diff --cached --stat
git diff --cached
Using the diff and the commit convention detected in step 1, draft a commit message with:
- A subject line (≤ 72 characters) that summarises the change, following the repository's convention.
- An optional body that explains why the change was made, only when the diff is non-trivial.
- Reference issue/ticket numbers when they appear in branch names or related context.
- Focus on the intent of the change, not a file-by-file inventory.
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.

commit is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/vscode (190,932 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 708 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.

stacking-prs
Create and manage GitHub native Stacked PRs in this repo with the gh stack CLI. Use when asked to stack PRs, split a large change into a stack, add a layer to a stack, restack or rebase a stack, adopt existing branches or PRs into a stack, check out someone else's stack, or land a stack. Covers creating and submitting…
maestro-improve
Turn filed lessons into the smallest doctrine edit. Use when a Lead assigns improvement work for one target: group pending lessons, make one evidence-linked commit per target, return it for independent challenge, and process each accepted or rejected lesson without deleting history.
slate-ar-ship
Slate v2 one-command ship/readiness mini-skill. Runs finalization preview, picks the review shape, runs pre-commit gates/autoreview, pauses for commit approval, then commits/finalizes after confirmation.
session-wrapup
End-of-session checkpoint — append diary, update active sprint doc with interim results/retro, write tech-lead handoff, commit and push. Use before /compact or at end-of-day. Distinct from sprint-wrap-up which closes a sprint.
brpr
(devtools plugin) Create a branch, commit changes, push, and open a PR — or just commit+push+PR if already on a feature branch. Links related issues from GitHub or Linear based on project tracker config.
tuturuuu-commit
Create scoped Tuturuuu commits and perform user-authorized pushes.
