What are snippets in Claude Code?

Snippets are pattern-triggered context injection files that automatically load relevant documentation or guidance when specific keywords match your messages.

How do I create a new snippet?

Use the 'snippets create' command pointing to a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter. The tool validates your regex pattern and automatically registers it in your local configuration.

What is the standard regex format for snippets?

All snippets must follow the protocol: \b(PATTERN)\b[.,;:!?]? using ALL CAPS keywords to ensure consistent and accurate triggering.

Does this skill support interactive terminal use?

Yes, it features TTY auto-detection. In a terminal, it provides an interactive selection interface; when piped, it outputs machine-readable JSON.

Can I search through my existing snippets?

Yes, the 'snippets list' command supports multi-level matching, prioritizing exact name matches followed by name-contains, pattern content, and description matches.

About

The Managing Snippets skill provides a robust framework for handling pattern-triggered context in Claude Code. It acts as a system for 'smart bookmarks,' automatically loading relevant documentation, domain-specific guidance, or boilerplate code whenever specific keywords appear in a user prompt. Version 2.0 introduces TTY auto-detection for an interactive terminal interface, rigorous regex protocol validation, and multi-level search capabilities, ensuring that the right context is always available without manual intervention. By organizing snippets into logical categories like development, documentation, and productivity, it helps maintain a consistent and high-velocity coding environment across different projects and sessions.
