Drift for VS Code

Syntax highlighting for .drift files — the Drift intent-based language for agentic systems.

Highlights:

  • Declaration keywords (agent, step, state, model, tool, memory, pipeline)
  • Intent verbs (summarize, classify, extract, generate, …)
  • Routing keywords (confident, prefer, fallback, upgrade when, stream … then …)
  • Memory keywords (remember, recall, deja_vu, forget, tagged, older than)
  • Error handling (attempt, recover, retry, fail)
  • Currency ($0.10) and duration (30s, 5m, 1h) literals
  • Pipeline operators (->, =>, ~>, |>)
  • String interpolation ("Hello, {name}!")

Local development

code --extensionDevelopmentPath=./vscode-drift

Open any .drift file in the new window — highlighting should activate automatically.
