Other Useful Enhancements

• Editor decorations for Hprompt frontmatter and role lines. You can customize their appearance via settings.
• Foldable & sticky-scroll headings for easier navigation.
• Snippets for relatively complex Hprompt constructs.
• Frontmatter YAML validation with real-time feedback. Requires installation of the YAML extension and proper schema configuration (see next section).

Frontmatter Validation Setup

Follow these steps to enable YAML validation for Hprompt frontmatter.

• Install the Red Hat YAML extension.
• Configure a schema for *.hprompt.yaml (hprompt frontmatter virtual documents) by adding the following to your settings.json:

    {
    	"yaml.schemas": {
    		"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/atomiechen/HandyLLM/main/assets/hprompt-fm.schema.json": "*.hprompt.yaml"
    	}
    }
  

  You can also download the schema file and reference it locally if preferred.

Once configured, the frontmatter area supports schema-based hovers and completions while you type.
