Skill: code-visualstudio-llms

WHEN TO USE

• Documentation Search: Locating specific Visual Studio Code documentation articles, setup guides, or configuration references.
• Article Retrieval: Fetching the full rendered markdown of a specific VS Code docs page via its llms.txt or related context.

WHEN NOT TO USE

• Other IDEs/Editors: When the user explicitly asks for Visual Studio (the full IDE), IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, WebStorm, or other non-VS Code editors.

Core Process

1. Identify the Need: Determine whether you need to search for a topic or fetch a specific known documentation path.
2. Execute the Query: Fetch the data from the llms.txt reference or relevant URLs.
3. Process Content: Extract the relevant information to answer the user's query or inform the ongoing task.

Common Pitfalls

• Confusing VS Code with Visual Studio: Ensure the context refers to "Visual Studio Code" or "VS Code", not the full "Visual Studio" IDE.
• Using this skill for non-VS Code editors: Route IntelliJ or other IDE documentation requests to the appropriate skill instead of relying on VS Code references.
