Configures and uses snipgrapher to generate polished code snippet images, including syntax-highlighted PNGs, SVGs, and WebP exports with custom themes, profiles, and styling options. Use when the user wants to create code screenshots, turn code into shareable images, generate pretty code snippets for docs or social posts, produce syntax-highlighted images from source files, or explicitly mentions snipgrapher. Supports single-file renders, batch jobs, watch mode, and reusable named profiles via the snipgrapher CLI or npx.

Advisory
Suggest reviewing before use
A software consultancy runs a developer blog where engineers regularly publish technical posts featuring highlighted code examples. Until now, images have been created manually using screenshot tools, leading to inconsistent styling — different fonts, varying padding, and mismatched themes across posts. The engineering team wants to standardize how snippet images are produced so every post looks polished and on-brand.
You have been asked to set up the snippet rendering toolchain for the team's local dev environment. The setup should support at least two rendering profiles: one for general documentation use and one for social media posts (which typically need larger fonts and a watermark). After setup, the team should be able to validate that the environment is correctly configured and know which themes are available.
Produce a shell script named setup.sh that, when executed in a fresh project directory, will:
Also produce the final config file itself as snipgrapher.config.json showing the configuration that would result from running your setup. The config file should be fully populated (not just a placeholder) so the team can review it.
Write a brief setup-notes.md explaining any decisions made in the configuration (e.g., which theme was chosen, why, what each profile is for).
