Implementation Reference
- src/tools/ideconfigs.ts:84-113 (handler)The core handler function that implements the generate_vscode_tasks tool logic, generating a VSCode tasks.json file based on project name, language, and optional commands.
export function generateVSCodeTasksHandler(args: any) { const { projectName, language, buildCommand, testCommand } = args; const defaultBuild = language === "typescript" ? "npm run build" : language === "python" ? "python -m pytest" : language === "rust" ? "cargo build" : "npm run build"; const defaultTest = language === "typescript" ? "npm test" : language === "python" ? "python -m pytest" : language === "rust" ? "cargo test" : "npm test"; const content = JSON.stringify({ "version": "2.0.0", "tasks": [ { "label": "Build", "type": "shell", "command": buildCommand || defaultBuild, "group": { "kind": "build", "isDefault": true }, "problemMatcher": ["$tsc"] }, { "label": "Test", "type": "shell", "command": testCommand || defaultTest, "group": { "kind": "test", "isDefault": true } } ] }, null, 2); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: content }] }; } - src/tools/ideconfigs.ts:73-82 (schema)The input schema definition using Zod for validating arguments to the generate_vscode_tasks tool.
