VS Code Setup Guide

A complete VS Code setup for running Claude Code, packaged so you can install the whole thing in one click. VS Code is a free app from Microsoft. It was built for writing code, but no coding is needed here. It is really just a fast window for working with files, which is what makes it a good place to run an AI agent. You can see every file the agent touches, keep your own documents open next to it, and run Claude, Codex, and Gemini at the same time. Out of the box VS Code behaves like the code editor it is. Word wrap is off, so long paragraphs run off the right edge. Autosave is off. Files open in preview tabs that replace each other. Markdown opens as raw text. The minimap, breadcrumbs, sticky scroll and lightbulb hints are all on. The link in step 2 changes every one of those, and adds the theme and the 9 extensions, in one step.
