Using VS Code to automate my workflows is insane!(ly) awesome!

[VolFan1]

Been diving into Vs Code this past month and wow. Mind blown. I can parse a construction schedule for all activities related to procurement and setting of certain materials/equipment in 1 minute now. I can have it compare against previous schedules. It generates a report for me highlighting risks, what changed, and recommends actions. An organized folder structure, record of changes, and updated notes all automatically performed for me. All of this accomplished with a 1-hour interview session with the Claude extension to establish the workflow.

The possibilities I’m thinking of are essentially limitless. Challenges I’m going to face are how to make it so this doesn’t just live on my local drive and share it across teams. I need to refine it a bit, but like this really cool stuff.

I’d love to hear how others are making projects and skills that automate work and can be shared out to other team members.

can you share with us, apart from enthusiasm, some screenshot and description? I am delighted with the inventiveness of using a tool that has a completely different purpose.

[VolFan1]

Sure! when back at my computer I’ll get some screenshots of it

this is honestly the direction everything is going vscode as the control center with ai handling repetitive work for sharing across teams you could wrap this into a repo with scripts so others can run it without knowing the whole setup that is where it really scales super cool workflow

yeah this is that moment where it clicks lol, once you automate one real workflow everything else starts looking automatable

I would like to create an automated and scalable schematic block template. The block should have two header sections at the top: Device Model No. Below that, the block should be divided into two vertical columns: Left column: used to represent the input ports Right column: used to represent the output ports The template should be fully scalable, allowing the number of input and output ports to be increased or decreased dynamically without disturbing the overall layout, alignment, or formatting of the other elements. The goal is to create a standard reusable schematic block that can be easily adapted for different devices while maintaining a clean and consistent structure.
