To add syntax highlighting in a VS Code language extension, you implement TextMate grammars within your project. This Skill guides you through the setup and integration of relevant language support libraries for this purpose.

The best way to create a webview extension is to follow established webview creation patterns within your VS Code extension project. This Skill provides the necessary templates and workflow guidance to implement and deploy webview features.
