2. Open VS Code
3. Go to the Extensions panel (Cmd+Shift+X on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+X on Windows)
4. Click the ... menu in the top right of the Extensions panel
5. Select Install from VSIX... and choose the downloaded file

Using Whisker

Open any blog .md file and Whisker will automatically run. Look for the 🐱 Whisker indicator in the bottom status bar — it shows error and warning counts at a glance.

Click it to open the Whisker panel, which has three tabs:

• Errors — things that must be fixed before publishing (missing fields, invalid tags, etc.)
• Warnings — things worth reviewing (description length, image attributes, etc.)
• Tags — browse all available tags by category and add them with one click

Whisker re-runs automatically every time you save the file.
