Description
The generator template links to a json schema outside the project (by the github user martinring, here) -- if the schema is a good thing to include, could it perhaps be inlined into this repository? Otherwise if that file is removed or changed, it has an impact on downstream users; and also the legitimacy of the schema is easier to assess when that link is found in a syntax highlighter.

Research direction
Start with generators/app/templates/ext-language/syntaxes/new.tmLanguage.json and compare its external schema link with the referenced martinring/tmlanguage.json. Determine whether the schema should be included in this repository, then verify that generated syntax-highlighter files use the intended schema reference and that downstream users are no longer exposed to an unnecessary external dependency.
