Context Copy for VS Code

Effortlessly copy the content of multiple files and entire folders from the VS Code Explorer to your clipboard, formatted perfectly to use as context for ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Ai Studio.

Copy files in a way that llms can easily understand by appending filenames, and having clear file boundaries.

Copy Files and Folders

Features

• Multi-Select Support: Select any combination of files and folders.
• Recursive Folder Processing: Copies content from all valid text files within selected folders and their subdirectories (up to a configurable depth).
• LLM-Friendly Formatting: Output includes clear delimiters with relative paths:

  ```[src/utils/fileUtils.ts]
  // Content of fileUtils.ts
  ```
  
  ```[src/command.ts]
  // Content of command.ts
  ```
  

• Smart Filtering:
  • skips .env | binary files | images/videos | archives
  • skips excessively large files (files > 5MB not copied).
• Avoid sensitive files: .env file is never copied to clipboard.

Usage

1. Select one or more files/folders in vscode menu explorer.
2. Right-click on your selection.
