kagi bang custom create "Rust Docs" \
  --trigger rustdocs \
  --template "https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/?search=%s"

kagi bang custom get rustdocs

List bangs ready for shortcut-menu use:

kagi bang custom list | jq -r '.[] | select(.shortcut_menu) | .trigger'

Notes

Targets may be the bang id, exact name, or trigger.
The CLI normalizes bang targets so rustdocs and !rustdocs resolve to the same bang.
snap_domain and the fmt_* fields map directly to Kagi’s current custom-bang settings form.
