# VS Code Terminal Auto-Approve Configuration This skill provides domain-specific knowledge on how to configure VS Code to automatically approve terminal commands, especially those with dynamic arguments (like running Python scripts with parameters). ## Overview VS Code allows auto-approving terminal commands executed via Copilot Chat. This reduces manual confirmations for trusted operations. ## Configuration Steps ### 1. Enable Global Auto-Approve Add the following to your `settings.json`: ```json "chat.tools.terminal.enableAutoApprove": true ``` ### 2. Configure Rules Define which commands are auto-approved in the `chat.tools.terminal.autoApprove` object. #### Simple Command Matching To approve all instances of a command (e.g., `python`): ```json "chat.tools.terminal.autoApprove": { "python": true } ``` #### Regex Pattern Matching (Advanced) To approve only specific scripts or paths: ```json "chat.tools.terminal.autoApprove": { "/^python\\s+skills\\//": true } ``` ## Troubleshooting - **Command mismatch**: Ensure the command string matches what's typed or called (e.g., `python` vs `python3`). - **Restart requirement**: Restart VS Code or reload the window after updating `settings.json`. ## References For more detailed instructions, see [references/how-to-configure-vscode-terminal-autoapprove.md](references/how-to-configure-vscode-terminal-autoapprove.md).
