Open-source AI skills for VS Code
MCP servers and skill packages for VS Code’s agent mode. 430 listings in the catalog install into VS Code; the ones below rank on the depth of the guide we wrote and how well the listing reads, not on GitHub stars alone.
How a listing gets into VS Code
- MCP servers: copy the config from the listing into .vscode/mcp.json
- Skill folders and prompts, from the terminal
