Research direction
Start with the BitBake User Manual and the example recipes in meta/recipes-extended from the linked Yocto repository. Review the .bb and .bbappend syntax, including embedded Python and Shell functions, and compare it with existing Prism language definitions. Done means BitBake recipe files receive appropriate syntax highlighting.
