What it checks / adds

  • README.md and CHANGELOG.md (created if missing).
  • An icon placeholder + icon field in package.json.
  • Required publish fields (publisher, repository, categories, …).
  • A dry-run package listing so you see exactly what would ship.

Then package

Terminal window
bun run package     # builds prod + vsce package --no-dependencies

This produces a .vsix you can upload to the marketplace or install locally with Extensions: Install from VSIX….
