PoshTools VSC
The PowerShell Pro Tools extension for Visual Studio Code adds packaging, form design, refactoring, explorers, profiling, and automation tools to PowerShell development in VS Code.

PowerShell Pro Tools provides an activity bar icon to access many of the tools.
Within the activity bar, you'll find tools like the AST explorer, the module explorer and the variable explorer.
Features available from the right-click Context Menu (e.g. Refactoring) require that the PowerShell script being edited is not in an unsaved state.
Quick Examples
Package a script by right-clicking a .ps1 file in the Explorer and selecting Package Script as Exe, or by running the PowerShell Pro Tools: Package Script as Exe command.
Open the Windows Forms designer from a .ps1 file with PowerShell Pro Tools: Show Form Designer.
Attach to a running PowerShell host from the Host Processes view and then select a runspace.
