[GSoC 2026] Draft Proposal - Support SPM Templates in VS Code

Development GSoC
1

Hi @willpaceley @matthewbastien,

Applying for the SPM Templates project. Draft proposal here: Support SPM Templates in VS Code proposal - Google Docs

Summary:

  • User enters template URL → swift package init --url ... --experimental-dump-help → parse ToolInfoV0 → render webview form → create project
  • Kept it to ~5 pages based on your feedback to others
  • I've written prototype code that compiles against the repo

Any feedback before the deadline would be great.
