Raycast Snippets

Raycast Snippet Generator

Capabilities

This skill allows you to generate and save Raycast Snippets directly to the user's configuration file.

Usage Process

1. Analyze Request:

   • Identify the core content the user wants to save.
   • If the user asks for a "prompt" or "role", generate a high-quality, structured system prompt.
   • If the user asks for a "template", ensure it has placeholders (e.g., {date}).

2. Generate Metadata:

   • Name: Create a short, descriptive title (e.g., "Python Logger").
   • Keyword: Suggest a short abbreviation for quick access (e.g., !log, ;py).
   • Text: The actual content.

3. Execute Storage:

   • You have a helper script located at: ~/.claude/skills/raycast-snippets/scripts/manage_snippets.py
   • Construct the command using the following format:

     python3 ~/.claude/skills/raycast-snippets/scripts/manage_snippets.py --name "Snippet Name" --text "Snippet Content" --keyword "optional_keyword"
     

   • IMPORTANT: You must use the Bash tool to execute this command. Do not just display it.

4. Confirm:

   • Inform the user that the snippet has been saved.
   • Remind them to Import the JSON file in Raycast if they haven't set up auto-sync for that specific file (though this script modifies the source file directly, Raycast might need a re-import if it's not the live database).

Example

User: "Save a snippet for a standard git commit message."

Assistant:

1. Generates content: feat: <description>\n\n[optional body]\n\n[optional footer]
2. Generates command: python3 ~/.claude/skills/raycast-snippets/scripts/manage_snippets.py --name "Git Commit" --text "feat: ..." --keyword ";gc"
3. Executes command via Bash.
4. Responds: "Saved 'Git Commit' snippet with keyword ';gc'."
