## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### VS Code / Cursor Node Skill

Control a VS Code or Cursor IDE remotely through the OpenClaw Node protocol.

### Related

OpenClaw Node for VS Code — The VS Code/Cursor extension you need to install (required)
cursor-ide-agent — Combined skill with both CLI and Node paths (install this instead if you also use Cursor CLI)
Source: github.com/xiaoyaner-home/openclaw-vscode

### Prerequisites

Extension openclaw-node-vscode installed and connected (status bar 🟢)
Node visible in nodes status
Commands in Gateway's allowCommands whitelist

### Invocation Pattern

nodes invoke --node "<name>" --invokeCommand "<cmd>" --invokeParamsJson '{"key":"val"}'

Both invokeTimeoutMs (Gateway internal) and timeoutMs (HTTP layer, must be larger) are required for long operations.

Timeout guide:

### Read a file

nodes invoke --node "my-vscode" --invokeCommand "vscode.file.read" --invokeParamsJson '{"path":"src/main.ts"}'
→ { content, totalLines, language }

### Find all references

nodes invoke --node "my-vscode" --invokeCommand "vscode.lang.references" --invokeParamsJson '{"path":"src/main.ts","line":10,"character":5}'
→ { locations: [{ path, line, character }] }

### Git status + commit

nodes invoke --node "my-vscode" --invokeCommand "vscode.git.status"
→ { branch, staged, modified, untracked, ahead, behind }

nodes invoke --node "my-vscode" --invokeCommand "vscode.git.stage" --invokeParamsJson '{"paths":["src/main.ts"]}'
nodes invoke --node "my-vscode" --invokeCommand "vscode.git.commit" --invokeParamsJson '{"message":"fix: resolve type error"}'

### Delegate to Cursor Agent

nodes invoke --node "my-vscode" --invokeCommand "vscode.agent.run" --invokeParamsJson '{"prompt":"Add error handling to all API endpoints","mode":"plan"}' --invokeTimeoutMs 180000 --timeoutMs 185000
→ { output, exitCode }

### Common Workflows

See references/workflows.md for detailed step-by-step workflows:

Fix a type error
Safe cross-file refactor
Delegate complex task to Cursor Agent

### Error Handling

### Security

All paths are relative to workspace root — absolute paths and ../ blocked
Writes respect readOnly and confirmWrites extension settings
Terminal disabled by default, whitelist-only when enabled
Each device has unique Ed25519 identity, must be approved by Gateway
