Install the [CDK Snippets extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dannysteenman.cdk-snippets) in VS Code.\n2. Open your CDK project (TypeScript or Python).\n3. Add L1 constructs using their short prefix (e.g. `l1-s3-bucket` for `s3.CfnBucket`).\n\nExample:\n\n![CDK Construct Snippets example](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dannysteenman/vscode-cdk-snippets/main/images/cdk-snippet-tutorial.gif)\n\n\u003e **Note:** Once you start typing a prefix (explained in step 3), the corresponding snippet shows up in the dropdown menu.
