This VS Code extension adds all currently open file tabs to your GitHub Copilot Chat context — no more referencing files one by one.
📌 Features
Automatically references all open tabs in the Copilot Chat context
Works with local and remote files
One command: no clicks, no hassle
🤯 Why Not Just Use @workspace?
The @workspace context variable in Copilot Chat is unreliable in large repositories — especially monorepos or mature Rails/Django/Node apps. Copilot may:
Miss important files
Ignore deep or nested folders
Include too much noise (irrelevant files)
With this extension, you explicitly control which files Copilot sees, without the manual tedium of referencing them one by one.
🚀 Usage
Open the files you want Copilot Chat to be aware of
Run the command: Attach Open Files to Copilot Chat (via Command Palette: Ctrl+Shift+P)
Your files will appear as attached context in the chat bar.
💡 Use Cases
You're working across multiple related files and want Copilot to understand the context
You're reviewing or rewriting code across services/controllers/models/etc.
You're debugging something with scattered logic and want Copilot to "see what you see"
You want consistent, predictable context — not whatever @workspace decides to include
