CodeClipr

Package your codebase into optimised AI context payloads — in one click.

CodeClipr is a VS Code extension that lets you select files from your workspace, optimise them, and copy the result to your clipboard ready to paste into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any other AI model.

No more manually copying files. No more hitting token limits unexpectedly. No more accidentally pasting API keys into AI chats.

How it works

Open the CodeClipr panel in the VS Code sidebar
Select the files you want to include
Choose your optimisations (minify, scrub secrets, etc.)
Hit Package Active Workspace
Paste into your AI model of choice

CodeClipr builds a structured payload with a directory tree, file contents, and an AI system prompt — everything the model needs to understand your codebase in one go.

Getting Pro

Buy a CodeClipr Pro license →

After purchase you'll receive a license key by email. Paste it into the License field at the top of the CodeClipr panel — Pro features unlock instantly.

Token budget

Set a token budget and CodeClipr will warn you before copying if your payload exceeds it. The token bar shows real-time usage as you select files, so you always know where you stand before hitting the limit.

Scrub Secrets

When enabled, CodeClipr automatically redacts the following before your code leaves VS Code:

OpenAI API keys (sk-...)
Google API keys (AIzaSy...)
AWS access keys (AKIA...)
GitHub personal access tokens (ghp_...)
JSON Web Tokens
Hardcoded passwords, secrets, and connection strings

Supported languages

Minification and Skeleton Mode work across: JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, TSX, C#, VB.NET, CSS, HTML, JSON.

Auto-bundle Dependencies traces import and require statements for JavaScript and TypeScript projects.

Requirements

VS Code 1.85.0 or later. No other dependencies.

Privacy

CodeClipr processes everything locally inside VS Code. The only external call made is to validate your Pro license key against the Lemon Squeezy API. No code, no file contents, and no workspace data is ever sent anywhere.
