Prerequisites

npm install -g @vscode/vsce

Log in with your publisher token (create one at https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/manage):

vsce login sqz

Required package.json fields

The following fields must be present and accurate before publishing:

{
  "name": "sqz",
  "displayName": "sqz — Context Intelligence",
  "description": "Compress and manage LLM context in VS Code.",
  "version": "0.1.0",

Or publish a specific version:

vsce publish minor   # bumps minor version and publishes

To publish a pre-release:

vsce publish --pre-release

CI publishing (GitHub Actions)

  run: vsce publish -p ${{ secrets.VSCE_PAT }}
  working-directory: vscode-extension
