Code Distiller for VS Code

Code Distiller is a Visual Studio Code extension that analyzes Python projects and distills their structure into a concise .jsonl file. The output is ideal for use in ChatGPT workflows or other LLM-based tools.

Features

  • Extracts AST summaries from Python files in your workspace
  • Outputs to .vscode/distilled_repo.jsonl
  • Accessible via the Command Palette and context menu

How to Use

  1. Open a Python project folder in Visual Studio Code.
  2. Press F1 or Cmd+Shift+P, then search for and run Distill Repo. You can also use the distill repo button on the top right that will appear when you're clicked on a python file.
  3. The extension will create .vscode/distilled_repo.jsonl containing the distilled output.

Requirements

  • Python 3 installed and available on your system PATH.
