ShiftCode: AI Context Optimizer 🛰️

Stop wasting tokens. ShiftCode is a developer tool designed to bridge the gap between your local codebase and Large Language Models (LLMs) like Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude.

It extracts your code, strips away the "noise" that consumes tokens, and includes real-time IDE diagnostics to help AI fix bugs faster.

✨ Key Features

  • Token Optimization: Intelligent minification that reduces indentation (4 to 2 spaces), collapses empty lines, and removes trailing whitespace. Save up to 50% on context usage.
  • Copy with Problems: Automatically detects and attaches VS Code Errors and Warnings to your code. No more manual typing of error messages.
  • Path Sanitization: Automatically converts absolute system paths (e.g., C:\Users\...) into clean, relative project paths to keep the AI focused.
  • Smart Filtering: Automatically ignores binary files and common development folders like node_modules, .git, and dist.

🚀 How to Use

  1. Right-click any file or folder in the VS Code Explorer.
  2. Select ShiftCode: Copy for AI (for clean code) or ShiftCode: Copy with Problems (for debugging).
  3. Paste into your AI chat.
