Terminal Expert

概要

Master the complexities of terminal implementation within the VS Code environment by bridging the gap between xterm.js API details and VS Code's internal terminal architecture. This skill provides standardized patterns for pseudo-terminal (PTY) management, advanced shell integration using OSC 633 sequences, and critical performance optimizations like WebGL rendering and output buffering. It is an essential resource for developers building custom sidebar terminals or integrating command-line interfaces into WebViews, ensuring robust input handling, session persistence, and efficient resource lifecycle management.
