## What it is
A Visual Studio Code extension that runs code snippets or code files for dozens of languages directly in the editor. It supports running the active file, selections, shebang-based execution, custom commands, and REPL via the integrated terminal.

## Use cases
- run a python script from vscode with one shortcut
- execute code snippets in multiple languages inside the editor
- quickly test small code files without leaving vscode
- run selected code fragment in the editor
- run code based on shebang or filename glob
- configure a custom command to run my code
- stop a running program and view its output in vscode

## When to choose
- you want fast, lightweight execution of scripts or snippets inside VS Code
- you work across many languages and want one consistent run shortcut
- you want REPL support through the integrated terminal

## When to avoid
- you need a full debugger with breakpoints and variable inspection
- you need build systems, task orchestration, or CI-style pipelines
- you need sandboxed or isolated execution environments

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: stable
- function: developer-tools, cli
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: vscode-extension, code-runner, multi-language, code-execution, repl, command-line
