contextualize helps gather files and other text snippets for use with LLMs.

uv tool install contextualize

command	purpose
`cat`	gather file contents (e.g. for piping to `llm`). often used with `--copy` + `--prompt`
`map`	survey file/folder structure(s) with aider
`shell`	capture output from arbitrary shell commands
`fetch`	retrieve Linear issues (legacy)
`payload`	compose text and file blocks from a YAML manifest

All commands work with the global flags --prompt, --wrap, --copy, and --write-file.

contextualize --copy --prompt "what does this do" cat contextualize/ README.md
