A VS Code extension that seamlessly aggregates code from multiple project files into a unified context, streamlining the process of sending it to AI for efficient analysis, debugging, and insightful suggestions.
Installation
Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and press enter.
Context Code is a Visual Studio Code extension that helps you generate a clean, organized snapshot of your project's context. Now available exclusively via the native VS Code explorer context menu, it automatically combines and formats your project's file contents into a Markdown document optimized for AI tools, documentation, or debugging.
Features
Explorer Integration Only: Generate project context directly from the native VS Code file explorer via right-click—eliminating the previous custom tree view method.
Context Generation: The extension aggregates file contents (with file names and language-specific code blocks) and immediately copies the generated context to your clipboard.
Automated File Filtering: Automatically ignores files and folders listed in your .gitignore along with other configurable ignore patterns, ensuring only relevant content is included.
Seamless Experience: With a single right-click or keyboard shortcut, you can extract a comprehensive context of your project without extra steps or manual selections.
Default Shortcut: When multiple files are selected in the file explorer, the default shortcut Shift + Command + 9 can be used to quickly generate context.
Usage
Open your project folder in VS Code.
Generate context:
In the native Explorer, right-click on the file or folder from which you want to generate the context and select Generate Context from the context menu.
Alternatively, when multiple files are selected in the explorer, simply press the default shortcut Shift + Command + 9.
Paste your context:
The extension scans your project—excluding ignored files—and copies the formatted Markdown directly to your clipboard.
Simply paste the context into your AI tool, documentation, or debugging environment.
