Hygiene
If you're working on VS Code itself, this skill helps you pass the pre-commit hygiene checks that will block your commits if they fail. It covers the specific rules the project enforces: ASCII-only characters (no curly quotes or emoji), single quotes for non-localized strings, Microsoft copyright headers, tab indentation, and passing ESLint and stylelint. The main value is knowing to run `npm run precommit` before you finish work and understanding what each error means when it complains. It's one of those things that saves you from the annoying cycle of committing, getting rejected, fixing, and trying again.
