📦 ai-pack

Pack your entire codebase into a single formatted Markdown prompt for LLMs, optimized for minimum tokens.

ai-pack is a lightweight, high-performance CLI tool designed to help developers package their codebase, specific files, or uncommitted changes into a clean Markdown payload. Easily copy it to the clipboard or save it to a file to feed directly into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other LLM.

🔥 Key Features

• ⚡ Native CLI Command: Accessible globally as ai-pack, aipack, or aip.
• 💀 Code Skeleton Extraction (--skeleton): Drastically save tokens by stripping method and function bodies, keeping only class structures, imports, signatures, and docstrings.
• 🎯 Interactive Selection (-i): Interactively choose which files to pack using Arrow keys and Spacebar before generating the payload.
• 🌿 Git-Aware (--changed): Automatically detect and pack only modified, staged, or untracked files.
• 🛡️ Gitignore Respecting: Native Git integration using git ls-files to automatically ignore build artifacts, node modules, and everything in .gitignore (with a clean manual fallback for non-git folders).
• 💬 Predefined LLM Prompts (-p): Instantly prepend pre-configured prompts for code review, bug hunting, or architecture explanations.
• 📊 Token Estimation: Heuristic token counting warns you if your payload exceeds your limit (--max-tokens).

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

Choose one of the following methods to get started quickly:

Option 1: Install from PyPI (Recommended)

Install the official release from PyPI:

pip3 install ai-pack-cli --user

Or via pipx to run in an isolated environment:

pipx install ai-pack-cli

Option 2: Install directly from GitHub

Install the latest cutting-edge development version directly:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/iamraydoan/ai-pack.git --user

Option 3: Manual Clone (Editable mode)

If you want to modify the source code:

git clone https://github.com/iamraydoan/ai-pack.git
cd ai-pack
pip3 install -e . --user

Option 4: Run as a Standalone Script (One-Liner)

Since ai-pack is a self-contained single script, you can download it directly:

curl -o ~/.local/bin/aip https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iamraydoan/ai-pack/main/ai_pack.py && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/aip

(Note: If you run it standalone, you will need to manually run pip3 install pyperclip questionary to enable all optional interactive and clipboard features).

Usage Examples

1. Pack the entire repository (copied to clipboard)

aip

2. Pack specific files and save to a file

aip -f src/main.py tests/ -o output.md

3. Pack only uncommitted git changes with a code review prompt

aip --changed -p review

4. Extract code skeleton only (drastically saves context window tokens)

aip --skeleton -p explain

5. Interactively choose files to include

aip -i

💀 Skeleton Mode Demo

Original Code (math.py):

def fibonacci(n):
    if n <= 0:
        return []
    elif n == 1:
        return [0]
    sequence = [0, 1]
    while len(sequence) < n:
        sequence.append(sequence[-1] + sequence[-2])
    return sequence

Skeleton Output:

def fibonacci(n):
    ...

Supports Python and all brace-delimited languages (JS, TS, Go, Rust, C++, Java, Swift, etc.)

🎨 Interactive CLI Checklist

Running aip -i triggers a beautiful checkbox prompt:

? Select files to pack (Space to toggle, Enter to confirm):
 ❯ [x] src/main.py
   [x] src/utils.py
   [ ] tests/test_main.py
