with cmd+shift+p you can easily create and insert snippets. If everything goes according to plan, I'll put some snippets here…

YAML front matter

this will just create a yaml front matter header with a few fields: title, tags and date created.

{
    "YAML front matter": {
        "prefix": "",
        "body": [
            "---",
            "title: ",
            "tags:",
            "  - ",
            "date created: ${CURRENT_YEAR}-${CURRENT_MONTH}-${CURRENT_DATE}",
            "---"
        ],
        "description": "YAML front matter"
    }
}
