Microsoft/VSCODE — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me an open source desktop code editor like Visual Studio Code. I want it to feel simple for writing files, but powerful enough for developers to open a project folder, edit code, search across files, jump around the code, and understand what they’re working on.

It should support common programming languages with syntax coloring, snippets, and basic language help where possible. Add a built in debugging experience that feels lightweight, plus a way for users to connect the editor with their existing tools. I also want a rich extension system so people can add language support and new features without changing the core app.

Please make it run on Windows, macOS, and Linux, using TypeScript and an Electron style desktop setup. Include sensible defaults, a clean interface, and enough documentation so someone can build it from source, run it locally, test it, and contribute fixes or feature requests. Look up current docs online if you need to.
