The description for all the available generative commands can be found on the main page for IDE plugins

If you don't have any SDKs installed at this point you will see this prompt:

Uniscale Develop: SDK picker

If you have multiple SDKs installed you can use this command to select the one that you want to use to generate snippets against.

Uniscale Develop: Snippets and generative code

This is the main command to retrieve a list of available generative commands. You might not see all the commands described here depending on what you have modeled in your solution and/or services. The full list can be seen in the section Commandson the main page for more details.

Troubleshooting

I don't see snippets for things I just modeled

You will need to generate a new SDK in Uniscale and install the new version as a dependency in your project.

I see options for a wrong service

You probably have more than one SDK installed simultaneously, you can see all installed SDKs and choose the one you want to use by issuing the command Uniscale Develop: SDK picker

I don't see any options to generate snippets

If you are not getting any snippet options or you get "fetch failed" errors you can try to log in again by issuing the command Uniscale Develop: Login to Uniscale. You can also try restarting VS Code.

I got the "User is not part of the company" error

This means that your user is not part of the company and/or the solution/service you are trying to access. Ask your administrator to add you to relevant solutions and services.
