Local Task Runner

Local Task Runner is a JavaScript-only VS Code extension that discovers executable scripts near the active file and runs them from a sidebar.

Execution Screen

This repository now includes publication-ready base files and a working implementation.

Scans the active file directory and parent directories up to the workspace root.
Scans direct directory contents only (no recursive scan).
Filters scripts by OS:
- Windows: .bat, .cmd, .ps1
- macOS / Linux: .sh
Sorts scripts by filename (ascending).
Executes scripts as VS Code tasks with shared terminal output.
Uses PowerShell for .ps1:
- powershell.exe -NoProfile -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File <scriptPath>
No confirmation dialog.
No custom settings.
No dedicated log channel.
Localization metadata:
- en (default), ja, zh, fr, de, es

Keybindings apply with:

editorTextFocus && isWorkspaceTrusted && !terminalFocus

Ctrl+Shift+1 ... Ctrl+Shift+9: Run the 1st to 9th script from the current directory group (./).

If the workspace is not trusted, script execution is blocked.

npm install

Then open this folder in VS Code and run the extension host (F5).
