name: terminal-via-pylance description: ALWAYS-ON enforcement: run read-only shell commands by wrapping them in Python via the Pylance MCP pylanceRunCodeSnippet tool instead of run_in_terminal, because VS Code Copilot cannot reliably read its own terminal output. NEVER for write/mutating commands. The full, authoritative rules live in .github/instructions/terminal-via-pylance.instructions.md (always loaded via applyTo: ''**''). Use when this capability is needed. metadata: author: Lixpi

Terminal-Via-Pylance

This skill is the discoverable companion to the always-on instructions file at .github/instructions/terminal-via-pylance.instructions.md.

Before running any command, follow the Docker-only command rule in AGENTS.md and documentation/development-workflow/AGENT-SKILLS.md: never run npm, npx, pnpm, or pnpx on the host, including through Pylance.

That instructions file is the source of truth. Read it for:

• The full list of prohibited (mutating) command categories.
• The full list of allowed (read-only) commands.
• The exact subprocess.run(...) snippet template to use with mcp_pylance_mcp_s_pylanceRunCodeSnippet.
• The mandatory three-step self-check to run before every shell action.

Do not improvise — follow the instructions file exactly.
