VS Code Extension Debugger

Acerca de

Streamline the extension development lifecycle with a structured approach to debugging runtime errors, memory leaks, and performance bottlenecks. This skill offers deep expertise in identifying root causes across VS Code-specific domains, including activation lifecycle issues, WebView communication failures, and asynchronous race conditions. By leveraging defensive coding strategies and safe fix patterns, it helps developers build more robust extensions while providing rigorous verification checklists to prevent regressions.
