Read the full documentation.
Behavior
- Opens a form bound to the active CWL file.
- Reads existing supported metadata and pre-fills the form.
- Updates metadata in the active document while typing.
- Preserves all non-metadata CWL text, comments, ordering, and formatting.
- Uses VS Code theme variables rather than a standalone application theme.
- Is implemented in TypeScript.
- Includes a bundled, source-preserving YAML CST layer specialized for top-level CWL metadata sections.
