How does this skill handle Side Bar commands?

It enforces a specific naming pattern starting with an underscore and suffixed with #sideBar, ensuring icons are defined and visibility is restricted from the Command Palette.

Does this skill help with command visibility logic?

Yes, it guides the implementation of 'when' clauses and enablement rules to ensure commands only appear in the correct context.

Are categories required for all VS Code commands?

Regular commands intended for the Command Palette must define a category, whereas Side Bar specific commands prioritize icons and visibility conditions.

Can this skill help with command positioning?

Yes, it provides logic for defining the order and group positioning of commands within view titles and context menus relative to other elements.
