From the README

Visual Studio Code - Open Source ("Code - OSS") The Repository This repository ("`Code - OSS`") is where we (Microsoft) develop the Visual Studio Code product together with the community. Not only do we work on code and issues here, but we also publish our roadmap, monthly iteration plans, and our endgame plans.

Setup prompt

Paste this into Cursor or Claude Code. It only includes install lines found in the README, and it asks the agent to review the code first.

Set up the GitHub repository microsoft/vscode (Visual Studio Code).
Repository: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode

Official install commands found in the README:
Docker / the Codespace should have at least **4 cores and 6 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)** to run a full build. See the [development container README](.devcontainer/README.md) for more information.

Clone the repository and follow those steps. Do not invent package names or extra install commands.
Review the code before running anything.
