## File Purposes & Key Content

### Core Extension Files

#### package.json
**Purpose**: VSCode extension manifest and npm package definition

**Key Sections**:
- `name`: `logic-md-vscode` (internal identifier)
- `displayName`: `LOGIC.md` (shown to users)
- `publisher`: `singlesourcestudios` (marketplace publisher)
- `contributes.languages`: Registers `.logic.md` file extension
- `contributes.grammars`: Links TextMate grammar for syntax highlighting
- `contributes.snippets`: Links code snippet definitions
- `activationEvents`: `onLanguage:logic-md` (activates when opening .logic.md file)
- `main`: `./out/extension.js` (compiled entry point)

#### syntaxes/logic-md.tmLanguage.json
**Purpose**: TextMate grammar that defines syntax highlighting

**Highlights**:
- YAML frontmatter between `---` delimiters
- LOGIC.md core keywords: `spec_version`, `name`, `reasoning`, `steps`, `contracts`, `quality_gates`, `fallback`, `decision_trees`, `global`, `imports`
- Step properties: `needs`, `instructions`, `branches`, `verification`, `retry`, `timeout`, `allowed_tools`, `denied_tools`, `output_schema`, `input_schema`
- Contract properties: `invariants`, `preconditions`, `postconditions`, `error_handling`, `sla`
- Decision tree keywords: `condition`, `then_step`, `else_step`, `default_step`
- Quality gate keywords: `metric`, `threshold`, `on_fail`, `severity`
- Expression syntax: `{{ ... }}` with operators and functions
- Reasoning strategies: `cot`, `react`, `tot`, `got`, `plan-execute`, `custom`
- Failure modes: `retry`, `escalate`, `skip`, `abort`, `revise`
- Severity levels: `error`, `warning`, `info`
- Markdown body highlighting (headings, bold, italic, code, links, lists)

**Technical Details**:
- ~415 lines of JSON with 24 pattern groups
- Uses ONIGURUMA regex for pattern matching
- Scope names map to editor color themes
- Includes captures for specific highlighting regions

#### snippets/logic-md.json
**Purpose**: Code snippet templates for rapid development

**Snippets**:
1. `logic-init`: Full LOGIC.md specification template (25 lines)
2. `logic-step`: Single step definition (10 lines)
3. `logic-contracts`: Contract block (15 lines)
4. `logic-gates`: Quality gates configuration (10 lines)
5. `logic-branch`: Branch conditions (7 lines)
6. `logic-fallback`: Fallback with decision tree (12 lines)
7. `logic-retry`: Retry configuration (5 lines)
8. `logic-decision-tree`: Decision tree structure (10 lines)
9. `logic-import`: Import statements (7 lines)
10. `logic-expr`: Expression placeholder (1 line)

**Format**:
- Tab-stop notation: `${1:placeholder}`, `${2:another}`, etc.

#### src/extension.ts
**Purpose**: Extension runtime code (TypeScript)

**Functionality**:
- **Activation**: Runs when .logic.md file is opened
- **Event Listeners**:
  - `onDidOpenTextDocument`: Validates documents when opened
  - `onDidChangeTextDocument`: Validates on typing (future: add debounce)
  - `onDidSaveTextDocument`: Validates on save
- **Validation**: Basic checks for frontmatter and required fields
- **Diagnostics**: Displays validation errors/warnings to user

**Extension Points for Future**:
- Integrate `@logic-md/core` validator for full schema validation
- Add expression syntax checking
- Implement step reference resolution
- Add contract verification

#### language-configuration.json
**Purpose**: VSCode language-specific settings

**Configures**:
- Comment character: `#` (for YAML comments)

### TypeScript Configuration

#### tsconfig.json
**Purpose**: TypeScript compiler configuration

**Settings**:
- `target: ES2020` - Compile to modern JavaScript
- `module: commonjs` - CommonJS output for Node.js
- `strict: true` - Strict type checking
- `outDir: ./out` - Compiled files go to `out/`
