vscode-terminal-autoapprove

What problem does it solve?

This skill reduces friction by automatically approving terminal commands in VS Code Copilot Chat, eliminating repetitive confirmations for trusted operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Global auto-approve: Enable automatic approval for common commands (e.g., python) to speed up workflows.
• Selective rules with regex: Use regex patterns to restrict auto-approval to specific scripts or paths.
• Safe fallback and review: Maintain control by defaulting to manual approval when rules don't match.

Quick Start

Use this skill to enable auto-approval for Python commands in the integrated terminal. Steps:

1. Open settings.json in VS Code and add:
2. "chat.tools.terminal.enableAutoApprove": true
3. "chat.tools.terminal.autoApprove": { "python": true } To restrict auto-approval to specific scripts, use a regex rule like: "chat.tools.terminal.autoApprove": { "/^python\s+skills\//": true }
