SnipKit Assistant (BETA) 🤖

SnipKit Assistant lets you generate parameterized scripts based on a prompt directly from the command line.

❇️ Alternatively, you can use SnipKit GPT.

The assistant also allows you to save generated scripts and retry or adjust the prompt based on the script output. For more details, see the documentation.

⚠️ SnipKit Assistant is currently in beta for OpenAI and Gemini. A couple of improvements are already in the pipeline...

Parameters

SnipKit supports different types of script parameters to ease execution:

Parameter Type	Demo
Predefined values
Path
Password

Quick Start

Please also have a look at the Documentation.

Overview of all commands

snipkit -h

Configuration

# Create a new config
snipkit config init

As of now, no external snippet manager is configured.

# Add an external snippet manager
snipkit manager add

You will be presented with a list of supported managers. Pick the one you want to use. After that, you should be ready to go.

Working with snippets

Search for and execute a snippet:

snipkit exec

SnipKit will connect to the external snippet manager configured and provide all corresponding snippets to you. If you don't want to execute a snippet directly but have a look at the resulting command, call snipkit print instead.

Tip: In order to execute snippets even faster, have a look at the power setup described in the documentation.
