Request: Visual Studio extension

[ssnseawolf]

There is currently no Prompty extension for Visual Studio. An extension would ideally be lightweight and perform the following tasks:

Essential:

• Prompty file recognition and icon for *.prompty files in Visual Studio Solution Explorer.
• Syntax highlighting equivalent to the VSCode extension.
• Published by Microsoft to satisfy compliance.

Nice-to-haves:

• Intellisense and tooltip support equivalent to the VSCode extension.
• Markdown preview support equivalent to the VSCode extension.
• File > New File template.

Less important:

• Running models or exploratory workflow features. Reasoning: VSCode is a good and widely-used platform for testing patterns and models, which is not a core competency of Visual Studio.

Didn't think I'd be using Prompty this much in the short time since its release, but I'm quite fond of it now and Visual Studio support would substantially improve the inner loop workflow. Especially since Semantic Kernel offers Prompty support.

Hello, you can download the VS Code Extension

@BethanyJep I installed the extension but I can't see in the extensions bar

I think the request here is for a full Visual Studio extension (not just VSCode)

The latest is currently a pre-release version - could that be it?

Now it works with version v0.1.2024092301 (pre-release)
Thanks!
