By the time I'd pasted everything, I'd <br> forgotten what I was even asking.</p> <p>So I built CodeClipr.</p> <h2> What it does </h2> <p>CodeClipr is a VS Code extension that packages your entire codebase into a <br> single AI-ready context payload in one click. You paste it into any AI <br> assistant and it actually understands your whole project.</p> <h2> Features </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Unlimited files</strong> — package your entire project, not just one file at a time</li> <li> <strong>Automatic secret scrubbing</strong> — no accidentally pasting API keys or passwords</li> <li> <strong>Git diff mode</strong> — share only what's changed, perfect for code reviews</li> <li> <strong>Works with any LLM</strong> — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or anything else</li> </ul> <h2> Why I built it </h2> <p>I was spending more time context-switching and file-copying than actually <br> getting help from AI. The tools were powerful but the workflow was broken.</p> <p>CodeClipr fixes that workflow. One click, full context, paste and go.</p> <h2> Try it </h2> <p>Free to install from the VS Code Marketplace:</p> <p><a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=codeclipr.codeclipr" rel="noopener noreferrer">Install CodeClipr</a></p> <p>Pro tier available for advanced features including custom personas and <br> export formats.</p> <p>Would love feedback from anyone who's had the same frustration.</p> vscode ai productivity opensource
