ClankerContext

Capture bugs and feature requests from any website and send them directly to GitHub Copilot Chat with full context.

Free and open source.

What is ClankerContext?

ClankerContext bridges the gap between your browser and your IDE. When you encounter a bug or want to request a feature on any website, ClankerContext captures everything an AI coding agent needs to understand and fix the issue:

  • The element you clicked on (HTML + CSS selector)
  • Console errors and stack traces
  • Failed network requests
  • Your description of the problem

This context is then sent directly to GitHub Copilot Chat in agent mode, giving it everything needed to start working on a fix immediately.

How It Works

  1. Install the Chrome Extension from clankercontext.com
  2. Install this VSCode Extension
  3. Browse any website and click "Start Listening" in the Chrome extension
  4. When you find a bug, click "Fix with AI" or "Modify with AI"
  5. Select the relevant element on the page
  6. The issue context is automatically sent to Copilot Chat in VSCode

Privacy

ClankerContext is designed with privacy in mind:

  • All data stays local - No data is sent to external servers
  • Local HTTP server - Communication between Chrome extension and VS Code happens only on localhost (127.0.0.1)
  • Instance registry - Creates ~/.clankercontext/instances.json to enable multi-instance VS Code discovery
  • No telemetry - We do not collect any usage data or analytics
  • Open source - Full source code is available for review
