Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is s-hiraoku/vscode-sidebar-terminal's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on vscode-sidebar-terminal itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything vscode-sidebar-terminal configures →

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

release 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 9d 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.

Release Version Update

Bump version and auto-generate CHANGELOG.md for the VS Code extension using standard-version.

Usage

/release <version-type>

Version Types

  • patch - Increment patch version (e.g., 0.3.1 → 0.3.2)
  • minor - Increment minor version (e.g., 0.3.1 → 0.4.0)
  • major - Increment major version (e.g., 0.3.1 → 1.0.0)

Workflow

Step 1: Read Current Version

node -p "require('./package.json').version"

Step 2: Check Unreleased Commits

Show commits since the last release tag to verify there are changes to release:

git log v$(node -p "require('./package.json').version")..HEAD --oneline

If there are no commits, warn the user and stop.

Step 3: Bump Version and Generate CHANGELOG

Use standard-version to bump version in package.json and package-lock.json, and auto-generate CHANGELOG.md from conventional commits:

npm run release:patch   # for patch
npm run release:minor   # for minor
npm run release:major   # for major

This runs npx standard-version --release-as <type> which:

  • Bumps version in package.json and package-lock.json
  • Generates CHANGELOG.md entries from conventional commit messages
  • Creates a commit with the changes
  • Does NOT create a tag or push (configured in .versionrc.cjs)

Step 4: Report Results

Display:

  • Old version → New version
  • CHANGELOG.md diff (new entries)
  • Reminder: "Push with git push, then create tag after CI passes"

Important Notes

  • Do NOT create git tags — that is a separate step done after CI passes
  • Do NOT push — the user decides when to push
  • The .versionrc.cjs config maps conventional commits to changelog sections:
    • feat → Added
    • fix → Fixed
    • perf, refactor, docs → Changed
    • revert → Reverted
    • style, test, chore, ci → hidden

File Locations

  • Version: package.json ("version" field)
  • Lock file: package-lock.json ("version" field)
  • Changelog: CHANGELOG.md
  • Config: .versionrc.cjs

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.
