VSCode extension for skill gap insights #9
Description
Summary
Build a lightweight VSCode extension that surfaces ProjectBridge skill gap insights without requiring the full Tauri desktop app.
Details
Many developers live in VSCode and would benefit from seeing skill gap analysis alongside their code. This would be a standalone extension that wraps the existing projectbridge CLI.
Possible scope (MVP)
- Command palette action to run an analysis (
ProjectBridge: Analyze) - Prompt for GitHub username and job description (or read from a config file in the workspace)
- Display results in a webview panel or output channel
- Link to project spec generation for individual recommendations
Technical notes
- The
projectbridgeCLI already outputs structured JSON — the extension just needs to invoke it and render results - No need to reimplement any analysis logic; treat the CLI as the backend
- Could use the VSCode webview API for rich rendering or start simple with a tree view
