- Generate VS Code snippets from code patterns. Use when creating editor shortcuts.
# Snippet Generator
You type the same patterns over and over. This tool reads your code and generates VS Code snippets for common patterns.
**One command. Zero config. Just works.**
## Quick Start
```bash
npx ai-snippet ./src/
```
## What It Does
- Analyzes your code for repeated patterns
- Generates VS Code snippet definitions
- Includes placeholder variables
- Creates descriptive prefixes
## Usage Examples
```bash
# Analyze source files
npx ai-snippet ./src/
# Component patterns
npx ai-snippet ./lib/components/
```
## Best Practices
- **Focus on repetitive code** - hooks, components, utilities
- **Use good prefixes** - easy to remember
- **Add placeholders** - tab through editable parts
- **Keep them short** - long snippets are hard to remember
## When to Use This
- Speed up repetitive coding
- Share team patterns
- Onboard new developers
- Document coding standards

## How It Works
Scans your codebase for repeated patterns like component structures, hook definitions, and utility functions. Then generates VS Code snippet JSON with proper placeholders.
