+# Shrimp VSCode Extension
+
+Language support for Shrimp in VSCode. This README is for probablycorey and defunkt.
+
+**What it provides:**
+
+- Syntax highlighting and semantic tokens
+- Language server with error diagnostics
+- Commands: "Show Parse Tree" (Alt+K Alt+I) and "Show Bytecode" (Alt+K Alt+,)
+- `.sh` file association
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+**Developing the extension:**
+
+1. Open `vscode-extension/` in VSCode
+2. Run `bun run watch` in a terminal (keeps it compiling as you make changes)
+3. Use **Run > Start Debugging** to launch Extension Development Host
+4. Make changes to the code
+5. Press **Cmd+R** (or Ctrl+R) in the Extension Development Host window to reload
+6. Repeat steps 4-5
+
+The `.vscode/launch.json` is configured to compile before launching and use a separate "Shrimp Dev" profile. This means you can have the extension installed in your main VSCode while developing without conflicts.
+
+**Installing for daily use:**
+
+Run `bun run build-and-install` to build a VSIX and install it in your current VSCode profile. This lets you use the extension when working on Shrimp scripts outside of development mode.
+
+## Project Structure
+
+The extension has two parts: a **client** (`client/src/extension.ts`) that registers commands and starts the language server, and a **server** (`server/src/`) that implements the Language Server Protocol for diagnostics and semantic highlighting.
+
+Both compile to their respective `dist/` folders.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Autocomplete:**
+
+- [ ] Identifiers in scope
+- [ ] Globals from the prelude (including native functions)
+- [ ] Imports
+- [ ] Dot-get properties
+- [ ] Function argument completion
+
+**Other features:**
+
+- [ ] Better syntax coloring
+- [ ] Run shortcut - command to execute the current Shrimp file
+- [ ] REPL integration
