# Yaak HTTP Snippet Plugin

Generate code snippets for HTTP requests in various languages and frameworks,
powered by [@readme/httpsnippet](https://github.com/readmeio/httpsnippet).

## How It Works

Right-click any HTTP request (or use the `...` menu) and select **Generate Code Snippet**.
A dialog lets you pick a language and library, with a live preview of the generated code.
Click **Copy to Clipboard** to copy the snippet. Your language and library selections are
remembered for next time.

## Supported Languages

Each language supports one or more libraries, listed in the order they appear in the
dialog:

The **Agent** target produces a prompt describing the request rather than code, for handing
to an AI coding agent.
