name: open-changed-files-review description: Open files edited by the agent in VSCode after making changes, using the bundled open-changed-files script (silent no-op when unavailable).

Open Changed Files Review

Contract

Prereqs:

• zsh available on PATH.
• Optional: VSCode CLI code (missing → script no-ops).
• $AGENT_KIT_HOME/skills/open-changed-files-review/scripts/open-changed-files.zsh available.

Inputs:

• File paths touched in the current run (preferred).
• Optional: OPEN_CHANGED_FILES_MAX_FILES to cap opened files.

Outputs:

• Opens the requested files in VSCode (best-effort).
• If VSCode/tool unavailable: silent no-op (still provides a paste-ready command in chat when used manually).

Exit codes:

• 0: success or no-op
• non-zero: invalid usage or unexpected runtime failure

Failure modes:

• VSCode CLI code not installed or not on PATH.
• Input paths do not exist (script filters to existing files).

Use this skill when the agent has edited files and you want to immediately open the touched files in Visual Studio Code for human review.

Inputs

• A list of file paths that were modified/added in this run (preferred; does not require git).

Workflow

1. Build a de-duplicated list of existing files from the touched paths.
2. Determine the cap:
   • Default: OPEN_CHANGED_FILES_MAX_FILES=50
   • If there are more files than the cap: open the first N and mention that it was truncated.
3. Prefer running:
   • $AGENT_KIT_HOME/skills/open-changed-files-review/scripts/open-changed-files.zsh --max-files "$max" --workspace-mode pwd -- <files...>
4. If VSCode CLI code (or the tool) is unavailable: silent no-op (exit 0, no errors), but still print a paste-ready manual command plus the file list for the user.

Paste-ready command template

Copy$AGENT_KIT_HOME/skills/open-changed-files-review/scripts/open-changed-files.zsh --max-files "${OPEN_CHANGED_FILES_MAX_FILES:-50}" --workspace-mode pwd -- <files...>
