Verbative

Verbative power tools — Mechanics & Verbative Shot

The everyday utilities that make hands-free work fast.

Turn the commands you run a hundred times a day into one-click buttons, and hand Claude exactly what you're looking at with a single shortcut.

Mechanics · power feature

The commands you run all day, one click away.

Every project has the same handful of shell commands you keep retyping — start the dev server, spin up a browser, reset the database, kick off a build. Mechanics are reusable shell scripts you save once and run from the Verbative panel. Organize them into groups you create, rename, and delete; write each script in a built-in editor or import an existing .sh file. Every Mechanic runs in its own terminal — so it gets your real shell and PATH, streams its output live, and stops with one click.

Each Mechanic runs in its own terminal — your real shell and PATH, live output, one-click stop.

Runs in its own terminal

Each Mechanic launches in a real VS Code terminal, so it inherits your login shell and PATH (the thing a bare command usually trips on), shows live output, and stops cleanly when you hit the button.

Organized in groups

Group related Mechanics together — a Dev group, a Chores group, whatever fits how you work; create, rename, and delete them freely. They live with your project, so the whole team gets the same toolbox.

Write inline or import a script

Type a quick one-liner in the built-in shell editor, or import an existing .shfile to pull its contents in. Edit any Mechanic anytime — it's saved as plain text in your project.

In the Verbative panel, below the Advisory Board. Free includes up to 2 Mechanics; Advanced is unlimited.

Your real shell

Every Mechanic runs in its own terminal with your actual environment, PATH, and live output.

Organized your way

Group, rename, and delete Mechanics into the structure that matches how you work.

Ask Claude to write one

Describe the command you want and let Claude create the Mechanic for you.

Verbative Shot · power feature

Show Claude exactly what you see. Every region, one paste.

The fastest way to give Claude visual context. Hit ⌃⌘S or the panel button and drag over whatever Claude can't see — a design you want built, a render that looks wrong, an architecture sketch to scaffold from. Keep dragging, region after region; press Esc when you're done. They're stacked into a single image on your clipboard, so one paste drops the whole picture into Claude. No screenshot files, no digging through a folder, no attaching one image at a time.

  • Drag anywhere on screen — straight to your clipboard
  • Several in a row stack into one image — paste once
  • Captured on-device by macOS — nothing is ever uploaded

Free includes 10 captures a day · Advanced is unlimited.

One shortcut, many regions

Batch several screen captures to your clipboard at once instead of fiddling with separate screenshots.

Show, don't describe

Hand Claude the actual error or design instead of trying to narrate it.

Fits the voice flow

Capture and keep going — visual context without breaking your hands-free rhythm.
