Summary
Add an Agent Skill to the extension to provide Dev Proxy knowledge to AI agents.
Background
Agent Skills (https://agentskills.io/) are an open standard for giving agents procedural knowledge. They're supported by Claude, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, and others.
A Dev Proxy Skill would:
- Trigger when developers work on API mocking, error testing, rate limiting, etc.
- Provide best practices dynamically via HTTP fetch
- Guide agents to search Dev Proxy documentation
- Enable version checking for schema compatibility
MCP Server Impact
We need to investigate what impact, if any, there is when we introduce skills alongside our MCP server. If they are equally as effective then we should consider deprecating our MCP server in favour of skills.
Resources
Agent Skills are now generally available in v1.109
"engines": {
"vscode": "^1.109.0"
},Skills are contributed through contributes property in package.json

"contributes": {
"chatSkills": [
