Remove cache and old extensions under "~/.vscode-server/" on your Linux server

If you often connect to your Linux server using VSCode, the "~/.vscode-server/" folder (and sometimes the ~/.cache/ folder too) can get very large because VSCode:

  1. Does NOT clean its download cache after installing extensions;
  2. Does NOT delete old extensions after updating them;
  3. Does NOT remove old VSCode servers after installing a new version.

If your server storage space is limited, you might consider cleaning "~/.vscode-server/" (and ~/.cache/) regularly using the bash script I wrote. Simply run the following command:

curl -sL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/XDflight/5f3509eb84fc282b88059c909036f5bc/raw/b6b02d41c66c84d6332eb947c669dcd8973f393e/clean_vscode-server.sh | bash -s

Beast Mode

Beast Mode is a custom chat mode for VS Code agent that adds an opinionated workflow to the agent, including use of a todo list, extensive internet research capabilities, planning, tool usage instructions and more. Designed to be used with 4.1, although it will work with any model.

Below you will find the Beast Mode prompt in various versions - starting with the most recent - 3.1

Installation Instructions

  • Go to the "agent" dropdown in VS Code chat sidebar and select "Configure Modes".
  • Select "Create new custom chat mode file"
