Quick LLM Copy

Simple IntelliJ IDEA plugin 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 the Project View.
• Adds "Quick LLM Copy (with Codebase)" option to include the project directory structure.
• 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.
• Handles binary files.
• Settings UI for configuring excluded directories and file extension filtering.

Usage

1. Right-click on a file, directory, or select multiple files/directories in the IntelliJ IDEA Project View.
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

When you use Quick LLM Copy, the output will look like this:

Provided code:

File: path/to/file1
// file1 contents

File: path/to/file2
// file2 contents

Copy with Codebase Format

When you use Quick LLM Copy with Codebase, the output will include the project structure:

Provided code:

File: path/to/file1
// file1 contents

File: path/to/file2
// file2 contents

You can ask for other files from the codebase if needed:

Project structure:
├── src/
│   ├── main/
│   │   ├── kotlin/
│   │   │   └── com/
│   │   │       └── batyan/
│   │   │           └── QuickLLMCopy/
│   │   │               ├── CopyFilesAction.kt
│   │   │               └── CopyFilesWithCodebaseAction.kt
│   │   └── resources/
│   │       └── META-INF/
│   │           └── plugin.xml
│   └── test/
├── build.gradle.kts
└── settings.gradle.kts

Requirements

• IntelliJ IDEA (refer to since-build in plugin.xml or platformVersion in build.gradle.kts for specific version compatibility).

Extension Settings

The plugin provides the following settings:

• Excluded Directories: Configure directories that should be excluded from the codebase view (default: .idea,.git,.gradle,build,out,node_modules).
• File Extension Filtering: Filter files by their extensions when copying.
• Prefix Text: The text that appears before the copied code content (default: "Provided code:").
• Codebase Text: The text that appears before the codebase structure (default: "You can ask for other files from the codebase if needed:").

Known Issues

None at the moment.

Future Plans

• Add support for custom output formats.
• Add the ability to shorten code by removing comments or other elements.
• Improve performance with large projects.
