Snippets¶

Snippets are a structured part of the custom-command surface. They let you define generated templates rather than imperative callbacks.

Video placeholder: creating and invoking a snippet.

Snippet Registration¶

The custom builder exposes:

snippet(templated, generated, options?, snippetType?, disabled?)

What Snippets Are Good For¶

• repeatable boilerplate
• language-specific templates
• test scaffolding
• ecosystem-specific code generation patterns

Slot Formatting¶

Snippet templates can include placeholders such as:

• <%identifier%>
• <%newline%>
• <%indent%>

Formatting options can constrain how spoken values are rendered.

Example¶

builder.language("python").snippet(
  "test method <%identifier%>",
  "def test_<%identifier%>(self):<%newline%><%indent%>pass",
  { identifier: ["underscores"] },
  "method"
);

Strategic Use In Arqon¶

Snippets are one of the most practical ways to encode ecosystem-specific workflows without having to modify the core recognition stack.
