name: raycast-snippets description: Create and manage Raycast Snippets automatically. Use this skill when the user wants to save a prompt, template, or text snippet to their Raycast configuration.

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:

     Copypython3 ~/.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'."
