What it does
How To Use Code Snippets is an agent skill from sandgardenhq/sgai. Use when you need to find code snippets by language and query. When looking for code examples, patterns, or snippets in a specific programming language. When you need to search for code snippets quickly. When searching for code patterns or best practices.
Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Sandgarden AI Software Factory.
When your agent uses it
- You need to find code snippets by language and query
Example prompts
- “/how-to-use-code-snippets”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9efbb7b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
How To Use Code Snippets loads about 489 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 213 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 213 words (~489 tokens).
“The sgai_find_snippets tool allows you to search for code snippets using a specific programming language and a query string. It returns relevant code examples that match your search criteria, helping you find patterns, best practices, and implementations quickly.”
