## How it works

- The extension uses the [`QuickPick`](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#QuickPick) and [`InputBox`](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#InputBox) API to show a UI for user input.
- Registers a command via `package.json` that will trigger the quick input

## VS Code API
