# 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

## Requirements

No install needed. Just run with npx. Node.js 18+ recommended. Needs OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.

npx ai-snippet --help
```

## 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.
