AI Project Schema

AI Project Schema is a Visual Studio Code extension that generates a clean project schema for AI analysis.
It scans your project folder, creates a filtered tree of files and folders, and extracts file contents – ignoring unnecessary files such as binaries, logs, caches, and build artefacts.

✨ Features

• 📁 Generate filtered project structure (ignoring files defined in .ai-schema-ignore)
• 📝 Extract file contents for AI analysis (excluding ignored files)
• ⚡ Automatically creates .ai-schema-ignore if it doesn’t exist (no overwrite of existing file)
• 💻 Works across Windows, macOS, and Linux
• 📑 Output saved to .ai-schema/ folder in your project

📂 Output files

• .ai-schema/schema-filtered.txt – filtered structure (ignores defined files)
• .ai-schema/schema-contents.txt – contents of filtered files

🚀 Usage

1. Install the extension.
2. Open a project in VS Code.
3. Right-click inside the Explorer or use the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac):
   • AI Project Schema: Generate Project Schema – generates filtered schema and file contents
4. Find the generated files inside .ai-schema/ in your project root.

⚙️ Ignore rules

• The extension uses .ai-schema-ignore (similar to .gitignore)
• Default template is provided in templates/ignore-ai-schema.txt
• Existing .ai-schema-ignore is used without overwriting; edit it to fine-tune ignored files.
