AI & Productivity

AI & productivity in CodeExpander means using snippets and FillIn to store and expand prompt templates and code wrappers from one abbreviation (e.g. in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor). One abbreviation → full prompt or template. Pro script snippets run on trigger and output — no switching to the terminal.

AI Programming GuideFrom pain points to usage: FillIn prompt templates, snippet library by scenario, code wrappers and script execution with ChatGPT/Claude/Cursor
AI Use CasesCopy-paste prompt and snippet examples, screenshot and clipboard workflows, automation and cross-project reuse

Typical Use

Prompt Templates

FillIn for dropdowns and fields; one abbreviation → full prompt. E.g. ai-gen + Tab → language select, feature description, requirement checkboxes → structured prompt generated.

Group by Scenario

E.g. AI-Prompts / Code gen, Review, Docs. Use group prefix ai- for unified management; type ai-xxx to expand.

Code Snippet Library

Save AI-generated code as snippets; multi-file / multi-env reuse. Common wrappers (try/catch, logging, routes) insert with one key.

Script Execution (Pro)

Save scripts as snippets (Shell/Python etc.); trigger to run and output. Supports custom runtime environments.

Screenshot Loop

Tutorials, bugs, Code Review in one app: capture → annotate → style → copy.

Clipboard Time Machine

Copied code and replies from AI chats go to clipboard history automatically; full-text search, favorite important replies, recover anytime.
