Summary
- Defines two command types: regular commands (accessible in Command Palette with required category and title) and Side Bar commands (prefixed with underscore and suffixed with #sideBar, requiring an icon)
- Side Bar commands support visibility rules via enablement and when conditions, with positioning controlled through group and order attributes
- All commands must define a title; icons are optional for regular commands but required for Side Bar commands
- Emphasizes best practices including Command Palette visibility control, localization support, and conditional rendering based on extension state
