contextforllm 0.1.0

Local web UI for generating LLM-ready context from any codebase

ContextForLLM

A local web UI that scans any project folder on your machine, lets you select and annotate files, and generates a structured prompt you can paste directly into any LLM chat — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any other.

---

Why this exists

Every other tool in this space is a CLI that dumps your entire repo into one file. ContextForLLM gives you a browser UI where you can:

• Toggle individual files in or out
• Add a note to any file that gets embedded into the prompt
• Generate an AI summary of your project using Groq
• Automatically split large projects into sequenced prompt parts
• Set your task so the LLM knows exactly what to do

Features

• Local — your code never leaves your machine
• Browser UI — no terminal required after launch
• Per-file exclusion — toggle files in or out with a switch
• Per-file annotations — add notes that get embedded into the prompt
• Token counter — live token count with a visual usage bar
• Prompt splitting — large projects automatically split into sequenced parts with handoff instructions
• AI project summary — uses Groq to generate a project summary injected at the top of every prompt
• .contextignore support — create a .contextignore file in any project to permanently exclude files

---

.contextignore

Create a .contextignore file in any project folder to exclude files automatically on scan. Uses the same pattern syntax as .gitignore.

Example:

*.test.js
migrations/
old_auth.py

---

Groq API key

The AI summary feature requires a free Groq API key.

1. Get a free key at console.groq.com
2. Click "Add Groq Key" in the top right of the UI
3. Paste your key — it is held in memory only and never saved to disk
