What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps diagnose and fix VSCode extension build failures in Nix configurations by systematically testing sources across nixpkgs, vscode-marketplace, and open-vsx, reducing debugging time and guesswork.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Systematic source testing: Test sources in priority order: nixpkgs curated, vscode-marketplace, and open-vsx.
  • Incremental testing strategy: Add one failing extension at a time to isolate the issue.
  • Guided fixes: Recommends source changes and updates to your nix configuration when a mismatch or missing extension is detected.

Quick Start

Provide the failing extension identifier (publisher.extension) and run the resolver to identify a reliable source; update your nix configuration accordingly.
