VSCode Artifactory

VSCode Artifactory is a straightforward extension that simplifies the process of generating a comprehensive snapshot of your codebase. It was initially developed to create markdown files for importing as artifacts into Claude's project knowledge, but it can be used for various purposes.

The extension extracts code from your project files and compiles it into a single markdown file. This makes it easy to review your project structure, share the codebase with others, or feed it into AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT for analysis.

With VSCode Artifactory, you can quickly create a concise representation of your entire project, saving time and effort in the process.
