### SnipKit Assistant (BETA)  🤖

SnipKit Assistant lets you generate parameterized scripts based on a prompt directly from the command line through an interactive chat-style interface.

> ❇️ Alternatively, you can use  [SnipKit GPT](https://chatgpt.com/g/g-A2y9cPWE7-snipkit-assistant).

**Key features:**
- **Unified chat interface** - Generate, execute, and refine scripts in a single-screen workflow
- **Real-time execution preview** - See script output as it runs with exit code and duration
- **Revise with context** - Chat history is preserved, making follow-up prompts easy
- **Save to library** - Save generated scripts directly to your File System Library

For more details, see the [documentation](https://lemoony.github.io/snipkit/assistant/).

**Supported AI Providers:**
- OpenAI
- Anthropic
- Google Gemini
- Ollama (local models)
- Any OpenAI-compatible API (OpenRouter, Azure OpenAI, etc.)

### Parameters

SnipKit supports different types of script parameters to ease execution:

| Parameter Type    | Demo                                                                    |
|-------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| Path              | ![Path](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lemoony/snipkit/main/docs/images/param-example-path.gif)                           |
| Password          | ![Password](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lemoony/snipkit/main/docs/images/param-example-password.gif)                   |

## Quick Start

Please also have a look at the [Documentation](https://lemoony.github.io/snipkit/).

### Overview of all commands

```sh
snipkit -h
```
### Configuration

```sh 
# Create a new config
snipkit config init
```

As of now, no external snippet manager is configured.

```sh 
# 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](https://lemoony.github.io/snipkit/latest/getting-started/power-setup/) described in the documentation.
