Agent Skills Extension

VS Code extension to browse, install, and manage AI agent skills, instructions, and agents from Git registries (GitHub and Azure DevOps).

Features

• Install items directly into your workspace (.claude/skills, .claude/rules, .claude/agents)
• Support for GitHub and Azure DevOps Repos as skill sources
• Token-based authentication for private registries
• TTL-based caching to reduce API calls
• Workspace trust enforcement (installation requires trusted workspace)

Requirements
