Quickpick Templates

Extension for Cursor / VS Code that applies .md templates to the selected code snippet and copies the result to the clipboard.

Workflow

1. Select a code snippet in the editor.

2. Right-click and open the Quickpick submenu.

3. Choose:

   • What does this snippet do in context? — fixed template templates/snippet-in-context.md.
   • Improvement suggestion — fixed template templates/improvement-suggestion.md.
   • Template from configured folder… — lists .md files from the folder set in quickpickTemplates.templatesPath (or the extension's templates/ folder). The two fixed templates above do not appear in the list when pointing to the same copy inside the extension (avoids duplication).

4. The final text replaces {{CODE}} with the selected code and is copied to the clipboard.

Configure templates path

Settings → search for Quickpick Templates: Templates Path Key: quickpickTemplates.templatesPath

• Absolute — uses the specified folder.
• Relative — relative to the root of the opened workspace.
• Empty — uses the extension's built-in templates/ folder.

The list updates automatically when .md files change in the watched folder; the Reload button forces a refresh.
