WorkflowsSyntax highlighting

Editor syntax highlighting

Registers .axg (AXL workflow) files as their own language in VS Code / Cursor, with a TextMate grammar for syntax highlighting. Because axg is its own language ID, the TypeScript service, ESLint, and Biome will never touch these files again.

Install (no build step required)

This is a purely declarative extension - no compilation, no dependencies.

Option A: drop into your extensions folder

# Cursor
cp -r syntax-highlighting ~/.cursor/extensions/axl.axg-language-0.0.1

# VS Code
cp -r syntax-highlighting ~/.vscode/extensions/axl.axg-language-0.0.1

Then fully restart the editor (Cmd+Q, reopen - "Reload Window" is sometimes not enough for new extensions).

Workflow examples

Complete .axg files that compile and run as written.

Middleware

Layers that wrap an agent's work - caching, approval gating, write caps, routing, telemetry.
