Skipper for Visual Studio Code

The Skipper extension provides integration with the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P on Linux/Windows and Cmd+Shift+P on Mac).

This extension relies on the Skipper tool for invoking commands using the Command Palette.

Note: the illustrations here are based on assisted-service repository.
