Custom VS Code extensions and developer workflow automation

Proof example

VS Code Exact File Preview started as a narrow workflow fix: preview the exact selected file without starting a server or relying on framework routing. It now has real passive distribution through Open VSX, GitHub clones, an open awesome-vscode PR, and live feedback surfaces.

Good fits

Internal commands your team repeats manually in VS Code.
Preview, validation, or review panels for custom file formats.
Developer workflow automation around docs, config, generated artifacts, or local tools.
Small extensions that connect existing scripts, CLIs, or repositories into one editor action.

Start with the workflow

No checkout is active here. The intake issue asks for the workflow, team size, file types, and constraints so the smallest sensible engagement can be scoped manually.
