A maintainer skill in the VS Code repository for checking whether an upstream pull request or dependency fix cures a VS Code regression, using that project's GitHub Actions build artifacts instead of a local build.

What the skill teaches

A maintainer skill in the VS Code repository for checking whether an upstream pull request or dependency fix cures a VS Code regression, using that project's GitHub Actions build artifacts instead of a local build. The agent records the pull request head commit, confirms which job, platform and architecture produced the artifact and that a merge build really contains the intended change, and downloads it with the GitHub CLI while noting hashes. It then runs the same existing test against the bundled baseline and the candidate without changing assertions, repeats timing-sensitive cases, and finally removes temporary hooks and downloads and reports exactly what was compared and what was not.

Capabilities

  • Find GitHub Actions artifacts for a pull request
  • Check where a build artifact came from
  • Run the same test on baseline and candidate builds
  • Restore the checkout and report results
