Record or run a macro

Before I record this macro for the team, make it forgiving: surface any editor settings the macro relies on, ensure the snippet paste respects tab size and uses spaces, and flag commands that assume a saved file or a specific language mode. Highlight where the macro could break on Windows vs macOS or when files are unsaved, and suggest two small edits so reviewers can approve it quickly.

I started recording a macro to insert a header, save, and run analysis.py. The recorder saved keystrokes, but when I trigger MacroRunSnippet nothing happens. I suspect it's a matter of where the macro file was written or a missing permission for running the terminal command. I can't tell whether the activation keybinding collided with another extension or the macro failed to save. What is the most likely cause and the simplest steps to get it working for my user on Windows 10?

Over the last three months I keep making near-identical macros for formatting, header insertion, and running tests. They eat time and confuse teammates when they land in different places. I want one reliable habit to stop duplicating effort and make macros shareable across projects. What change should I adopt first so macros are reusable, documented, and easy for the team to accept?
