Quick LLM Copy

Simple VSCode extension that allows you to copy code files with their relative paths in a format suitable for LLM conversations.

Features

• Adds "Quick LLM Copy" option to the context menu in file explorer
• Adds "Quick LLM Copy (with Codebase)" option to include the project directory structure
• Adds a Quick LLM Copy (files) button in Source Control (Git) to copy whole files with current changes
• Adds a Quick LLM Copy (diff) button in Source Control (Git) to copy only Git diffs
• Supports copying multiple files at once
• Supports recursive copying of directories and their contents
• Includes relative file paths in the copied text
• Formats the output in a way that's easy to paste into LLM conversations

Usage

1. Right-click on a file, directory, or select multiple files/directories in the VSCode explorer
2. Choose one of the following options:
   • Quick LLM Copy: Copies only the selected files/directories
   • Quick LLM Copy (with Codebase): Copies the selected files/directories and includes the project directory structure

Standard Copy Format

Provided code:

File: path/to/file1
```
...file1 contents...
```

File: path/to/file2
```
...file2 contents...
```

Copy with Codebase Format

Provided code:

File: path/to/file1
```
...file1 contents...
```

File: path/to/file2
```
...file2 contents...
```

Codebase structure. You can ask for other files if needed:

Project structure:
├── src/
│   ├── components/
│   │   ├── Button.tsx
│   │   └── Input.tsx
│   └── utils/
│       └── helpers.ts
└── package.json

Copy SCM Changes

• Open the Source Control view
• Click the Quick LLM Copy button in the view title bar (copy icon)
• This copies all current Git changes (staged, unstaged, and untracked files that exist on disk) using the same format as the Standard Copy

Copy SCM Diff

• Open the Source Control view
• Click the Quick LLM Copy (SCM Diff) button in the view title bar (diff icon)
• This copies a unified Git diff (patch) for all current changes:
  • Includes staged, unstaged, and untracked files (untracked shown as diffs from /dev/null)
  • Skips deleted files' contents (diff will show deletions)

Example output:

Provided code:

Repository: your-repo
diff --git a/src/example.ts b/src/example.ts
index abcdef0..1234567 100644
--- a/src/example.ts
+++ b/src/example.ts
@@ -1,2 +1,3 @@
 export const a = 1;
 export const b = 2;
+export const c = 3;

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code version 1.60.0 or higher
