AI Snippet Suggester
A CLI tool that generates relevant code snippets for a given problem statement or function description using OpenAI or Anthropic APIs. This helps developers quickly bootstrap functionality or learn how to solve specific problems without leaving their terminal.
What It Does
AI Snippet Suggester is a CLI tool that generates relevant code snippets for a given problem statement or function description using OpenAI APIs. This tool helps developers quickly bootstrap functionality or learn how to solve specific problems without leaving their terminal.
Installation
1. Install Python 3.7 or higher.
2. Install the required package:
pip install openaiUsage
Run the tool using the following command:
python ai_snippet_suggester.py --description "Sort a list of integers" --language "python"Options
--description: Problem description or function idea (required).--language: Programming language for the snippet (required).--temperature: Sampling temperature for the model (default: 0.7).--max_tokens: Maximum tokens for the response (default: 150).--output: File path to save the generated snippet (optional).
Example
python ai_snippet_suggester.py --description "Sort a list of integers" --language "python" --output snippet.pyThis will generate a Python code snippet for sorting a list of integers and save it to snippet.py.
