feat: migrate VS Code extension to native customization model#301
Merged
Conversation
Migrate agent installation from legacy User/prompts to ~/.copilot/agents, contribute prompt files natively via chatPromptFiles, contribute skills natively via chatSkills with build-time conditional rendering, and remove the obsolete paw_get_skill/paw_get_skills tool bridge. Key changes: - Agents install to ~/.copilot/agents (paw.agentDirectory override available) - Skills rendered to vscode-assets/skills/ at build time (postcompile) - npm run watch now rerenders skill assets on skills/ changes - Legacy cleanup runs unconditionally across all known install paths - WSL override paths normalized from Windows to POSIX format - Activation seam added for testable install-through-activate flow - VSIX packaging test validates archive contents end-to-end - .paw/** excluded from packaged VSIX - Downgrade docs updated to reflect unvalidated pre-migration rollback - processConditionalBlocks extracted to src/utils/conditionalBlocks.ts - Engine floor bumped to VS Code ^1.109.0 Closes #240 Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

Both the CLI (which normalizes spaces to hyphens during build) and the VS Code extension now install agents to ~/.copilot/agents. Using the same hyphenated filename prevents duplicate agent files from appearing. - Rename agents/PAW Review.agent.md → agents/PAW-Review.agent.md - Update prompt file agent reference to PAW-Review - Update handoff tool AgentName type and package.json enum - Add old spaced filename to legacy cleanup candidates - Update docs and test references Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>
The New PAW Workflow command was sending only the initialization parameters to the agent without the instruction to load and execute the paw-workflow skill. Previously the prompt system injected this automatically, but with native chatPromptFiles the programmatic path needs to include it explicitly. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>
