VS Code extension 'Scripts Runner' lets devs click npm scripts instead of typing—because 'run dev' was the real startup killer

A developer has created an open-source Visual Studio Code extension called Scripts Runner to manage npm scripts more efficiently. The extension brings all npm scripts into a searchable sidebar, eliminating the need for terminal commands. Users can search and run scripts with a single click, and the extension automatically recognizes script types and updates when package.json is modified. The developer, who works with multiple projects daily, created the tool to simplify their workflow and reduce the need to memorize script names and switch between files. The Scripts Runner extension is available on the VS Code Marketplace and GitLab, where it is MIT licensed and open to contributions and feedback. Built with TypeScript and the VS Code Extension API, the tool has the potential to improve productivity for developers working with npm scripts. The extension's creator is seeking feedback and suggestions for future features, and users can install it by searching for "Scripts Runner" in the VS Code marketplace.
