## When to use this skill
Use this skill when the user wants to start a new VS Code extension project. This is the first step in the development workflow.
## How to use this skill
1. **Ask for Project Name**: If the user hasn't provided a name, ask for it (e.g., "my-awesome-extension").
2. **Execute Initialization Command**: Run the following command to scaffold the project non-interactively.
```bash
# Replace <project-name> with the actual name
npx --package yo --package generator-code -- yo code <project-name> --template typescript --quick
```
3. **Post-Initialization**:
* Change directory into the new project: `cd <project-name>`
* Explain the structure briefly:
* `src/extension.ts`: Main entry point.
* `package.json`: Manifest file.
* Run `npm install` (if not already done by the generator, though `--quick` usually handles it).
## Example Interaction
User: "Create a new vscode extension named helper"
Agent:
"I'll initialize the project for you.
Running: `npx --package yo --package generator-code -- yo code helper --template typescript --quick`
...
Project created! You can now start adding features."
