VS Code extension command contribution patterns and naming conventions. This skill helps you to contribute commands in VS Code extensions Use this skill when you need to: VS Code commands must always define a title , independent of its category, visibility or location. We use a few patterns for each "kind" of command, with some characteristics, described below: Regular commands: By default, all commands should be accessible in the Command Palette, must define a category , and don't need an icon , unless the command will be used in the Side Bar. Side Bar commands: Its name follows a special pattern, starting with underscore ( _ ) and suffixed with #sideBar , like _extensionId.someCommand#sideBar for instance. Must define an icon , and may or may not have some rule for enablement . Side Bar exclusive commands should not be visible in the Command Palette. Contributing it to the view/title or view/item/context , we must inform order/position that it will be displayed, and we can use terms "relative to other command/button" in order to you identify the correct group to be used. Also, it's a good practice to define the condition ( when ) for the new command is visible.
