Feature tryouts

Feature tryouts connect release-note links to trusted product interactions. Use this skill to choose the least invasive useful experience, keep behavior feature-owned, bind guidance to the correct UI instance, fail closed, and validate the real journey.

The authoritative contributor contract is src/vs/workbench/contrib/onboarding/README.md. Read it before implementation. This skill owns the execution workflow and must not duplicate a catalogue of current tryouts.

1. Classify the experience

Choose the least invasive level that provides value:

Level Use when
Try it Behavior can be prepared safely with isolated data
Guide me Opening and highlighting a real control is sufficient
Help me get ready The user must perform a prerequisite
Use my context The action must bind to an exact editor, session, or widget
Explain only Interaction would be unsafe, misleading, or impossible

A spotlight alone can be useful. A tryout does not need to reproduce the complete feature.
