Code Bundler
Bundle selected files and folders into a single AI-friendly text file.
Code Bundler helps you quickly package source code, configuration files, documentation, and other text-based project assets into one structured bundle that can be shared with AI assistants, reviewers, teammates, or issue reports.
Features
- ✅ Select multiple files
- ✅ Select multiple folders
- ✅ Select files and folders together
- ✅ Recursively scan selected folders
- ✅ Automatically detect text files
- ✅ Support UTF-8 and UTF-16 text files
- ✅ Skip binary files automatically
- ✅ Skip common generated and dependency directories
- ✅ Generate a structured AI-friendly bundle
- ✅ Include a project file tree
- ✅ Record skipped files and directories with reasons
- ✅ Copy the generated bundle file directly to the system clipboard
- ✅ Open the generated bundle with one click
Use the generated bundle with:
- ChatGPT
- GitHub Copilot
- Claude
- Gemini
- DeepSeek
- Cursor
- Any AI tool that accepts text files
The generated bundle preserves project structure and clearly separates file contents, making it easier for AI models to understand your codebase.
What Gets Included
Code Bundler automatically includes:
- Source code files
- Configuration files
- Scripts
- Markdown documents
- JSON, YAML, XML files
- Text-based project assets
- Any file that appears to contain text content
Selected folders are scanned recursively.
What Gets Skipped
Binary Files
Common binary file types are automatically skipped:
- Images (
png, jpg, gif, webp, etc.)
- Audio files (
mp3, wav, etc.)
- Video files (
mp4, mov, etc.)
- Archives (
zip, rar, 7z, etc.)
- Executables and libraries
- Fonts
- Databases
- PDF files
- Microsoft Office documents
Ignored Directories
The following directories are skipped automatically:
node_modules
.git
dist
out
build
coverage
.vscode-test
.next
.nuxt
.turbo
.cache
target
Large Files
Very large files are skipped automatically to keep generated bundles manageable.
Usage
From Explorer
Open a folder or workspace in VS Code.
Select one or more files and/or folders in the Explorer.
Right-click the selection.
Choose:
Code Bundler: Pack Selected Files and Folders
Wait for bundling to complete.
A code-bundle.txt file will be created in the workspace root.
The generated file is automatically copied to the system clipboard.
Optionally open the generated bundle directly from the completion notification.
Without Selection
You can also run the command and manually choose files or folders from the file picker.
Example Output
# CODE BUNDLE FOR AI ANALYSIS
## Bundle Summary
- Generated At: 2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z
- Workspace Root Name: my-project
- Total Scanned Files: 128
- Packed Text Files: 97
- Skipped Files: 31
- Skipped Directories: 4
## Packed File Tree
README.md

Generated Bundle Contents
Each bundle contains:
- Bundle summary
- Workspace information
- File statistics
- Packed file tree
- File contents with clear boundaries
- Skipped files with reasons
- Skipped directories with reasons
This format is designed specifically for AI-assisted code analysis.
Why Code Bundler?
When sharing code with AI tools, manually copying files often loses important context such as:
- Project structure
- File relationships
- Configuration files
- Supporting documentation
Code Bundler creates a single structured bundle that preserves this context, helping AI tools produce more accurate answers, code reviews, bug analysis, and architecture insights.
