Definition Updates

This repository includes a GitHub Action that checks the upstream SQF/Arma grammar definitions and regenerates artifacts automatically.

• Schedule: Every Saturday at 13:00 UTC (0 13 * * 6).
• It runs generate_sqf_template.py, if changes are detected it commits the updated SQF.tmLanguage and completions. The commit message includes the upstream version (from vlad333000/vscode-sqf) and the short commit hash of the upstream change.

Credits

• Language definitions: Generated from the excellent work in vlad333000/vscode-sqf. The generator consumes:
  • sqf.tmLanguage.json
  • arma-cfg.tmLanguage.json

Huge thanks to the maintainers and contributors of that project.

Contributing

Issues and PRs are welcome! If you’re tweaking keywords or scopes, please include example snippets so I can verify highlighting across common SQF patterns.
