VS Code Tasks and Run Configuration for Repeated Commands
Automate build, test and lint commands with tasks.json.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Plan VS Code tasks for repeated commands. Commands I run often: [COMMANDS]. Order and dependencies between them: [DEPENDENCIES]. Operating systems: [OPERATING_SYSTEMS]. Who should be able to run them: [USERS]. Draft a tasks.json with a task for each command, a default build task, a default test task, dependent tasks, problem matchers where helpful, and clear labels, and explain every field [VERIFY syntax and field names]. No hidden side effects and no secrets in command lines. Add keyboard shortcut suggestions in a separate keybindings example, with personal shortcuts kept out of the repository. Safety: tasks run commands on the machine, so team members should read the file before trusting a workspace, and I should not add tasks that download and run unknown scripts. Testing plan: run each task from the command palette, check output, and test a failing task. List what goes in a README about tasks, and give a rollback if a task misbehaves.
