Type al, hit Tab, and a full Astro layout appears — SEO tags, dark mode, the works. Snippets Astro does the same for pages, components, expressions, and content collections, so scaffolding a route never means typing the same structure from memory.
Works in any .astro file.

Snippet management runs deeper here than in most of these extensions: alongside the usual manage / create / refresh commands (Ctrl + Shift + P / ⌘ + Shift + P), there’s also Open Snippet File, Reset Snippet to Original, and Delete Custom Snippet for when you’ve customized one and want to back out cleanly.
