VS Code Terminal Auto-Approve Configuration
This skill provides domain-specific knowledge on how to configure VS Code to automatically approve terminal commands, especially those with dynamic arguments (like running Python scripts with parameters).
Overview
VS Code allows auto-approving terminal commands executed via Copilot Chat. This reduces manual confirmations for trusted operations.
Configuration Steps
1. Enable Global Auto-Approve
Add the following to your settings.json:
"chat.tools.terminal.enableAutoApprove": true
2. Configure Rules
Define which commands are auto-approved in the chat.tools.terminal.autoApprove object.
Simple Command Matching
To approve all instances of a command (e.g., python):
"chat.tools.terminal.autoApprove": {
"python": true
}
Regex Pattern Matching (Advanced)
To approve only specific scripts or paths:
"chat.tools.terminal.autoApprove": {
"/^python\\s+skills\\//": true
}
Troubleshooting
- Command mismatch: Ensure the command string matches what's typed or called (e.g.,
pythonvspython3). - Restart requirement: Restart VS Code or reload the window after updating
settings.json.
