Description
Avoid common VSCode mistakes — settings conflicts, debugger setup, and extension clashes.
Usage Guidance
This skill is essentially a written checklist for VS Code and appears coherent and low-risk: it asks for nothing, installs nothing, and only references files and settings that are appropriate for IDE troubleshooting. Two practical cautions: (1) the skill’s source/homepage is unknown—if provenance matters to you, prefer skills with identifiable authors or links; (2) while the skill itself won’t execute changes, an agent using it could suggest editing your local config files—always review and approve any file edits or commands before applying them, and avoid pasting secrets into settings or uploading private config files.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: vscode
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle contains only metadata and a markdown file providing troubleshooting tips for VSCode. There is no executable code, no external network calls, no attempts at prompt injection against the agent, and no indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or persistence. The content of SKILL.md is purely informational and aligns with the stated purpose of helping with VSCode issues.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill name and description (avoiding VSCode mistakes) match the SKILL.md content, which focuses on settings.json, launch.json, extensions, terminal, remote development, and common fixes. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs are requested. Note: the skill source/homepage are missing, so provenance is unknown even though the content is coherent.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are purely guidance about VS Code config files and workflows (.vscode/settings.json, launch.json, .devcontainer, ~/.ssh/config, etc.). These file and path references are appropriate for the stated purpose and do not instruct broad or unexpected data collection or exfiltration. The guidance does mention editing local config files (expected for this purpose) but does not contain commands that would autonomously run or transmit data.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are present. Because this is instruction-only, nothing will be written to disk or downloaded by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or external service access. References to local config paths (e.g., ~/.ssh/config) are consistent with the remote-development troubleshooting scope and do not constitute unexplained credential requests.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked 'always' and uses the platform defaults (user-invocable, model invocation enabled). That is appropriate for an on-demand helper; it does not request elevated or persistent privileges or modify other skills.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install vscode - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/vscode - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
