Frequently asked questions about vscode

What does the vscode skill do?

Configure and operate VS Code-family IDEs (VS Code, VS Code Insiders, Cursor, VSCodium, Trae, Qoder, CodeBuddy) via CLI and structured JSON files. Qoder and CodeBuddy support is limited to their VS Code-compatible configuration surface, not proprietary AI chat, accounts, models, agents, marketplaces, or internal state. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the vscode skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install vscode` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/vscode/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does vscode work with?

vscode runs in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Cline, Aider, Gemini CLI, JetBrains Junie, Zed, Roo Code, Continue.dev, OpenCode, Other. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the vscode skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use vscode after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/vscode` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the vscode skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
