Promptable 🚀

Promptable is a lightweight VS Code extension that turns files and folders into prompt-ready AI context with a single action.

Right-click files or folders, copy them as structured text, and paste directly into ChatGPT, Claude, or any other LLM.

Features

• Files & Folders Copy individual files, multiple selections, or entire folders.

• Recursive Folder Support Includes all files inside selected folders recursively.

• .gitignore Aware Automatically respects .gitignore rules, including nested .gitignore files.

• Binary-Safe Binary files (images, PDFs, archives, executables) are detected automatically and replaced with a placeholder.

• Multi-Selection Support Works with any combination of files and folders in the Explorer.

• Dynamic Markdown Fences Uses dynamically sized backtick fences to safely handle files that already contain fenced code blocks.

• Clear File Delimiters Each file is wrapped with START / END markers for reliable LLM context.

• Relative Paths Paths are resolved relative to the workspace root.
