VS Code prompts

VS Code is flexible, and good settings and habits make it faster. These prompts help you plan workspace settings, extensions and tasks, write debug configurations, learn shortcuts and workflows, and review a setup for consistency across a team. Describe your language and project to an AI assistant and ask for configuration you can read and test. The prompts do not change your editor, so review settings files before saving and avoid pasting secrets. Teams can share the resulting settings in a repository so that everyone formats, lints and debugs the same way.
