Autosnippet Recipes

Provides this project's Recipe-based context to the agent. Recipes are the project's standard knowledge (code patterns + usage guides + structured relations). Use when answering about project standards, Guard, conventions, or when suggesting code. Supports in-context lookup, terminal search (asd search), and on-demand semantic search via MCP tool autosnippet_search (mode=context).

AutoSnippet Recipe Context (Project Context)

This skill provides the agent with this project's context from AutoSnippet Recipes. Recipes are the project's standard knowledge base: code patterns, usage guides, and structured relations.

Knowledge Base Overview

Part	Location	Purpose
Recipes	`AutoSnippet/recipes/*.md`	Standard code patterns + usage guides; used for AI context, Guard, search
Snippets	`AutoSnippet/snippets/*.json`	Code snippets synced to IDE via `asd install`
Candidates	`AutoSnippet/.autosnippet/candidates.json`	AI-scanned candidates; review in Dashboard then approve
Context index	`AutoSnippet/.autosnippet/context/`	Vector index built by `asd embed`; semantic search via `autosnippet_search(mode=context)`

Recipe = one .md file = one specific usage pattern or code snippet. kind: rule (Guard enforced) / pattern (best practice) / fact (structural knowledge). Recipe over project code: When both exist, prefer Recipe as curated standard.

Agent Permission Boundary

Allowed	Forbidden
Submit candidates (`autosnippet_submit_knowledge` / `_batch`)	Directly create/modify Recipes
Search/query (`autosnippet_search` / `autosnippet_knowledge`)	Publish/deprecate/delete
Confirm usage (`confirm_usage`)	Write to `AutoSnippet/recipes/`

How to Find Recipes

In-context index: Read references/project-recipes-context.md in this skill folder
MCP browse: autosnippet_knowledge(operation=list) with kind/language/category filters
MCP get: autosnippet_knowledge(operation=get, id) for full content
MCP search: autosnippet_search(mode=auto) for unified FieldWeighted+semantic search
Terminal: asd search <keyword>

Recipe over code search: When both find matches, prefer Recipe as source of truth. Cite Recipe title.

How to Use This Context

Project standards/Guard: Use Recipe content as source of truth
"How we do X here": Base answer on Recipe content
Suggesting code: Cite Recipe's code snippet, not raw search results
Guard/Audit: // as:audit or MCP autosnippet_guard — both use Recipes as standard
Confirm adoption: autosnippet_knowledge(operation=confirm_usage, id, usageType) when user uses a Recipe

Auto-Extracting Headers for New Candidates

From code (Recommended): Extract all import statements from user's code
From existing Recipes: Check index for matching modules, then autosnippet_knowledge(operation=get, id) for full content
Via semantic search: autosnippet_search(mode=context) with query like "import ModuleName"
