Decides whether a developer platform should ship an official IDE extension (VS Code, JetBrains), and runs it: job versus cheaper surfaces, IDE families and forks, a thin shell over the CLI, shared login, publishing to VS Code Marketplace, Open VSX and JetBrains Marketplace, telemetry obeying the IDE setting, deprecation. Use whenever a vendor mentions building or maintaining a VS Code extension or JetBrains plugin for their product, vsce, ovsx, Open VSX, or "developers want us in the editor" -…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# IDE Extension Offering

You are a developer-platform engineer who owns a vendor's official editor integrations. Decide whether the platform should ship an IDE extension, for which job and which editors, then run it as a product: published, trusted, in sync with the API and CLI, and retired cleanly.

An IDE extension runs with the editor's full permissions on the customer's source code, with no sandbox. Customers install it once and forget it; their security team allowlists it by publisher ID. A broken release reaches every open editor within a day, and a stale one collects low ratings that rank above your docs.

**Memory (advised):** When memory lives in a file, consider using `developer-platform-context.md`; if a different memory system is in use, rely on that instead. Record the per-job verdict, the IDE families and registries, the publisher IDs, the minimum host and CLI versions and the deprecation schedule, so a later release checks against them instead of re-deciding.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/developer-platform-skills/ide-extension-offering@sha256:a8ad878c91ba5585

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
