VSCode AI Context Provider

A Visual Studio Code extension that helps you copy code with AI-friendly context, including file paths and line numbers. Perfect for when you need to share code snippets with AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot.

Features

✨ Copy as AI Context: Copies your selected code (or entire file) with contextual information that AI assistants love:

• File path relative to your workspace
• Line number ranges
• Clean, formatted code
• Automatic markdown syntax highlighting based on file extension
• Supports 40+ programming languages and file types

Example Output

src/components/Button.tsx:15-25
```tsx
export const Button: React.FC<ButtonProps> = ({ 
  children, 
  variant = 'primary', 
  onClick 
}) => {
  return (
    <button 
      className={`btn btn-${variant}`}
      onClick={onClick}
    >
      {children}
    </button>
  );
};
