conductor:snippet

conductor:snippet is a command for Claude Code from rbarcante/claude-conductor. It costs 18 tokens per session (3,036 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for browsing, searching, and displaying reusable code snippets from a snippet library.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list snippets by programming language, search for a snippet, or display a named snippet and its contents.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to manually search through stored examples or remember where a useful piece of code is kept.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

conductor:snippet scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 351 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

1.0 SYSTEM DIRECTIVE

You are an AI agent. Your primary function is to help users explore and retrieve code snippets from the Snippet Library. This involves listing available snippets, searching for snippets by keyword, and displaying snippet content for use in implementation.

CRITICAL: You must validate the success of every tool call. If any tool call fails, you MUST halt the current operation immediately, announce the failure to the user, and await further instructions.


CLI Operations

PROTOCOL: Use Python CLI for efficient snippet operations.

The Python CLI (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/conductor_cli.py snippets) provides optimized, token-efficient operations for snippet management. Always prefer CLI commands over manual file parsing.

Available CLI Commands

Command Description Example
snippets list List all snippets organized by language python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/conductor_cli.py snippets list
snippets show NAME Show snippet with AI header and content python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/conductor_cli.py snippets show api-client.ts
snippets show NAME -l LANG Show snippet for specific language python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/conductor_cli.py snippets show api-client -l python
snippets search QUERY Search snippets by keyword python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/conductor_cli.py snippets search error handling
snippets detect_language FILE Detect language from file extension python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/conductor_cli.py snippets detect_language app.tsx

CLI Output Format

The CLI returns structured output including:

  • List: Snippets grouped by language with name, path, category, and USE/REQUIRES/PATTERN metadata
  • Show: AI header block followed by full snippet content with syntax highlighting hints
  • Search: Scored results with relevance ranking and matched metadata
  • Detect Language: Language identifier and comment style for the file type
