Project Structure Generator

Features

• Smart Pre-selection: Common build and cache folders (node_modules, .git, .vscode, dist, build, out) are pre-selected for exclusion
• ASCII Tree Output: Produces a clean ASCII tree listing of your workspace structure
• Markdown Export: Outputs to a project-structure.md file at the workspace root and automatically opens it
• Command Palette Integration: Access via "Generate Project Structure" command (Ctrl+Shift+P)
