Team Announcements

VSCode extension that shows GitHub Issues labeled announcement from the repository you are currently working in. Open a repo → you see that repo's announcements. Switch to another repo → the list updates automatically.

There is no central announcements repo. To announce in multiple repos, file the issue in each one.

Requirements

• GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated (gh auth login).
• The current workspace is a GitHub repo (detected via the built-in Git extension — github.com remote URL).

How it works

1. The extension detects the current repo from the active file's git remote (owner/repo).
2. It runs gh issue list --repo <owner>/<repo> --label <label> --state open.
3. Unread announcements trigger a notification; the status bar shows the unread count.
4. "Mark read" tracks per-issue in VSCode global state.

Settings

• announcements.label — label to filter by (default announcement).
• announcements.refreshInterval — minutes between checks (default 30).

Commands

• Announcements: Refresh
• Announcements: View All
• Announcements: Mark All Read

Posting an announcement

In the target repo, create a GitHub Issue with the announcement label. Any developer on that repo with the extension installed will see it within the next refresh cycle.
