🤖 Copy for Prompt

Copy for Prompt is a Visual Studio Code extension designed to streamline your workflow by allowing you to quickly copy files or folders in a format optimized for use with AI prompts, such as ChatGPT or other text-based tools.

Features

1. Copy Single File

Right-click any file in your project, and select "🤖 Copy for Prompt" to:

• Copy the entire file content to your clipboard.
• Prepend the file's name and relative path as a header for better context.

2. Copy Entire Folder

Right-click a folder in your project, and select "🤖 Copy for Prompt" to:

• Copy all files in the folder recursively.
• Include a directory structure tree for clarity.
• Prepend each file's name and path as a header.
• Append an end-of-folder marker for better readability.

Example Output

For a Single File:

================================================
File: src/lib/src/test/extension.test.ts
================================================
import * as assert from 'assert';

// You can import and use all API from the 'vscode' module
// as well as import your extension to test it
import * as vscode from 'vscode';
// import * as myExtension from '../../extension';

suite('Extension Test Suite', () => {
	vscode.window.showInformationMessage('Start all tests.');

	test('Sample test', () => {
		assert.strictEqual(-1, [1, 2, 3].indexOf(5));
		assert.strictEqual(-1, [1, 2, 3].indexOf(0));
	});
});

For a Folder:

================================================
Folder: src/lib/src
================================================
Directory structure:
├── extension.ts
└── test
    └── extension.test.ts

================================================
File: src/lib/src/extension.ts
================================================
import * as vscode from "vscode";
import * as fs from "fs";
import * as path from "path";

export function activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) {
  let disposable = vscode.commands.registerCommand(
    "extension.copyForPrompt",
    async (uri: vscode.Uri) => {
      try {
        const stat = await fs.promises.stat(uri.fsPath);

        if (stat.isDirectory()) {
          const folderContent = await processFolderWithTree(uri);
          await vscode.env.clipboard.writeText(folderContent);
          vscode.window.showInformationMessage(
            "Folder content copied to clipboard!"
          );
        } else if (stat.isFile()) {
          const fileContent = await processFile(uri);
          await vscode.env.clipboard.writeText(fileContent);
          vscode.window.showInformationMessage(
            "File content copied to clipboard!"
          );
        }
      } catch (error) {
        vscode.window.showErrorMessage("Failed to copy content: " + error);
      }
    }
  );

  context.subscriptions.push(disposable);
}
