microsoft/vscode-docs.

blog-writer

Plan, write, and review VS Code blog posts. ALWAYS use this skill when the user asks to "write a blog post", "draft a blog", "add a blog post for", "review this blog post", or provides a feature/issue/PR to announce on the VS Code blog. For new posts, it proposes an outline and asks clarifying questions first, and does not edit any files until you approve the plan.

content-redirect

'Create and manage redirects in VS Code documentation when pages are moved, renamed, or deleted. Use when moving docs pages, renaming files, restructuring content, or when the user asks about redirects.'

daily-docs-audit

Audit recently merged microsoft/vscode pull requests for documentation impact, stage deduplicated issue proposals, and create confirmed issues in microsoft/vscode-docs. ALWAYS use this skill when asked to run or configure a daily docs audit, identify documentation work from merged VS Code PRs, review pending docs issue proposals, or create docs issues for product updates.

doc-writer

Plan and write VS Code documentation for a new or updated feature. ALWAYS use this skill when the user asks to "document", "add docs for", "write docs for", or "update the docs for" a feature, or provides a GitHub issue/PR link to document — even if the change seems small. Proposes a documentation plan and asks clarifying questions first — it does not edit any files until you approve the plan.

docs-product-alignment

Audit and update docs/copilot/ documentation to accurately reflect current VS Code AI capabilities. Use when: competitive analysis reveals gaps, product launches new features, docs use outdated framing, or keyword coverage needs strengthening for discoverability by users and AI agents. Produces a gap analysis plus targeted edits across affected files.

frontmatter-description

Check and optimize MetaDescription frontmatter fields in VS Code documentation. Use when auditing, adding, or improving page descriptions for SEO and discoverability. Apply this when making content changes to markdown articles.

pr-review

Verify the technical accuracy of a vscode-docs pull request against the VS Code source code in microsoft/vscode. Use when reviewing a docs PR for factual correctness: setting names, command IDs, default values, API shapes, keybindings, versioned availability, and described behavior.

release-note-writer

Guidelines for writing and reviewing Insiders and Stable release notes for Visual Studio Code. This also includes instructions for updating release notes for recovery releases.

write-my-release-notes

Generate VS Code release notes for the features you worked on in a milestone. ALWAYS use this skill when the user asks to "write release notes for my features", "document my milestone features", or "generate release notes from my issues". It gathers the milestone features you own from GitHub, analyzes each feature and its related issues, and writes user-focused feature sections into the milestone release notes file.
