Vscode Extension Guide

aktsmm/agent-skills
141 installs17 stars
Summary

A comprehensive guide for building VS Code extensions from zero to Marketplace publication. Covers scaffolding with Yeoman, manifest structure, command registration, TreeView and Webview patterns, and packaging with vsce. Includes specific guidance on extension host boundaries, managing generated sections with START/END markers, and centralizing notifications with configurable modes (sound, silent toast, status bar). The troubleshooting tables and done criteria are practical. References are organized by topic but written in mixed English and Japanese, which might slow you down if you're not bilingual. Best suited for developers building their first extension or debugging activation and packaging issues rather than those already deep in complex API work.

VS Code Extension Guide

Create, develop, and publish VS Code extensions.

When to Use

  • VS Code extension, extension development, vscode plugin
  • Creating a new VS Code extension from scratch
  • Adding commands, keybindings, or settings to an extension
  • Publishing to VS Code Marketplace

Quick Start

# Scaffold new extension (recommended)
npm install -g yo generator-code
yo code

# Or minimal manual setup
mkdir my-extension && cd my-extension
npm init -y && npm install -D typescript @types/vscode

Project Structure

my-extension/
├── package.json          # Extension manifest (CRITICAL)
├── src/extension.ts      # Entry point
├── out/                  # Compiled JS (gitignore)
├── artifacts/vsix/       # Keep local VSIX archives out of the repo root
├── images/icon.png       # 128x128 PNG for Marketplace
└── .vscodeignore         # Exclude files from VSIX

Building & Packaging

npm run compile      # Build once
npm run watch        # Watch mode (F5 to launch debug)
mkdir -p artifacts/vsix
npx @vscode/vsce package --out artifacts/vsix/my-extension-1.0.0.vsix

Keep local .vsix archives under artifacts/vsix/ instead of the repository root, and prune old local builds on a schedule so release artifacts do not pile up.

Done Criteria

  • Extension activates without errors
  • All commands registered and working
  • Package size < 5MB (use .vscodeignore)
  • README.md includes Marketplace/GitHub links
  • Local VSIX artifacts stored outside the repo root and pruned regularly

Quick Troubleshooting

SymptomFix
Extension not loadingAdd activationEvents to package.json
Command not foundMatch command ID in package.json/code
Shortcut not workingRemove when clause, check conflicts

Best Practices

Extension Host 境界

  • Extension Host 上で動く scanner / provider / TreeView は、同じことができるなら Node 固有の path / Buffer / 生 fs より VS Code API を優先する。Problems と実ビルドの環境差を避けやすい。
  • 自分の拡張に同梱したリソースは、ユーザーのホーム配下や VS Code のインストール先を推測せず、context.extensionUri と vscode.Uri.joinPath など extension context から解決する。
  • 他の installed extension に同梱されたリソースを読む必要がある場合も、resources/agents|skills|prompts|instructions|hooks|mcp の既知 root と、manifest の chatAgents / chatPromptFiles 宣言を優先して見る。built-in resource とは別の read-only resource として扱い、削除や再インストール導線を混ぜない。
  • Runtime の診断ログは console.log に散らさず、Output Channel ベースの logger に集約する。ユーザーがログを開ける導線も command / notification / README のどこかに用意する。

Manifest / Docs / Localization

  • package.json の commands、views、configuration、menus を変えたら、コード上の command ID / setting key と同時に確認する。
  • Marketplace 表示や設定説明をローカライズしている拡張では、package.nls.json と対象言語の package.nls.*.json を同じ変更で更新する。
  • 設定の並び順や説明を変えたら README の設定表、manifest consistency test、release notes の必要有無までまとめて見る。

Language Model Tools

  • Extension-provided LM Tools need strong modelDescription intent phrases. Prefer Use when the user asks to ... plus natural-language verbs for create/update/delete/toggle paths, and add a manifest/doc guard so future wording changes do not silently weaken agent-mode tool selection.
  • Treat prepareInvocation().confirmationMessages as extension custom confirmation text, not a complete approval bypass. VS Code / Copilot Chat can still show generic approval or Always Allow UI, so docs/settings should say they control custom confirmations only.
  • Before publishing an extension with LM Tools, inspect the packaged VSIX rather than trusting source files: confirm extension/package.json has the intended version, expected contributes.languageModelTools count, and no src/, test payloads, or sourcemaps unless intentionally shipped.

Generated Sections

  • START / END marker で囲む generated section は単一の SSOT として扱う。
  • 重複した marker pair を見つけたら、両方を残して追記せず、内容を統合して marker pair を1つに戻す。

命名の一貫性

公開前にパッケージ名・設定キー・コマンド名を統一:

項目例
パッケージ名copilot-scheduler
設定キーcopilotScheduler.enabled
コマンドIDcopilotScheduler.createTask
ビューIDcopilotSchedulerTasks

通知の一元管理

通知は共通helperへ集約し、設定値をruntimeで既知enumへ正規化する。重複抑止、ログとの分離、action、securityの設計は Notification Normalization を参照する。
