# Code Snippets Library ## Purpose Instead of reinventing code from scratch every time, maintain a library of proven, tested code snippets organized by category. Claude pulls from these snippets instead of generating from memory, ensuring consistency and quality. This follows Anthropic's practice of giving Claude pre-made code examples so it reads real patterns instead of guessing. ## Directory Structure ``` snippets/ react/ # React components, hooks, patterns python/ # Python utilities, scripts, patterns typescript/ # TypeScript types, utilities css/ # CSS/Tailwind patterns, layouts api/ # API call patterns, auth flows hebrew-rtl/ # RTL-specific code patterns config/ # Config files, env templates general/ # Cross-language utilities ``` ## How It Works ### Saving a Snippet When user says to save, or when a particularly good pattern emerges: 1. Identify the category (create directory if needed) 2. Create a file in `snippets/{category}/{name}.md` with: - Title and description - The code itself (properly formatted) - Usage example - Gotchas/notes 3. Update `snippets/index.json` with the new entry ### Using Snippets Before writing boilerplate or common patterns: 1. Read `snippets/index.json` to check for relevant snippets 2. If a match exists, read the snippet file 3. ADAPT it to the current context (don't blindly copy) 4. Credit the snippet source in a comment if useful ##
