Simple Task Tree

A lightweight tree view of the tasks defined in your .vscode/tasks.json - nothing else.

Most task explorer extensions try to detect every runnable thing in your workspace: npm scripts, shell files, Python scripts, build tools, and more. Simple Task Tree does none of that. It reads only the tasks you've explicitly declared in tasks.json and lists them, so the tree shows exactly what you put there.

Features

• Tree view listing the tasks declared in .vscode/tasks.json
• Click a task to run it
• Multi-root workspaces are grouped by folder
• Refreshes automatically when tasks.json changes
• Move the view anywhere you like via drag and drop (native VS Code view behavior)

Usage

1. Open a workspace with a .vscode/tasks.json file.
2. Open the Tasks view (Explorer sidebar by default).
3. Click a task to run it, or use the refresh button in the view title bar.
