Giga

Giga is your AI Context Manager. It automatically manages context, tracks changes, and manages knowledge across your codebase, making development more efficient and organized.

Usage

  1. Open any project in VS Code
  2. Run the command Giga: Open Project Manager from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)
  3. A panel will open showing your project overview
  4. Enter any additional instructions (optional)
  5. Click "Analyze Project" to generate project specifications

The extension will:

  • Analyze your codebase (if it exists)
  • Generate a comprehensive SPEC.md file
  • Update .cursorrules with project context

Debugging

If you face errors like "request too long", create a .gigaignore file in your project root.

Inside it, add a list of folders and files in the .gitignore format that are unrelated to your project.

Example:

.gigaignore:

staticfiles/
media/
large-binary.exe

Large Projects

For large projects, Giga now automatically chunks file data when sending to the server. This allows analysis of projects that would otherwise exceed the API size limits:

  • Projects larger than 10MB are automatically split into multiple chunks
  • Each chunk is processed separately and then combined
  • Progress is shown in the VS Code notification area

If you still encounter size-related issues:

  1. Try excluding more directories in your .gigaignore file
  2. Remove large binary files or media assets from analysis
  3. Focus on core source code directories

Features

  • Project Analysis: Automatically analyzes your codebase to create comprehensive project specifications
    • Analyzes existing codebases to generate SPEC.md
    • Intelligently handles both new and existing projects
    • Maintains project context in .cursorrules

Installation

You can install Giga from the VS Code Marketplace:

  1. Open VS Code
  2. Press Ctrl+P / Cmd+P
  3. Type ext install namanyayg.giga

Requirements

  • VS Code version 1.85.0 or higher

Extension Settings

Currently, Giga works out of the box without any configuration needed. More customization options coming soon.

Known Issues & Limitations

  • Large projects may take longer to analyze
  • Some file types are excluded from analysis (binaries, media, etc.)
  • Advanced AI features are still in development
