Project description

Copcon 🐎

Copcon (Copy Context) is a CLI tool designed to rapidly capture and summarize code context for use in large language model (LLM) based chatbots like Claude and ChatGPT.

Just point the copcon command at a directory, and all the LLM needs to know about your code is copied to your clipboard, ready to fire into ChatGPT with CTRL+V 🐎

Why Copcon?

  • 🚀 Speed Up Your Workflow: No more manual explanations of your project structure.
  • 🎯 Get More Accurate AI Responses: Provide complete context in seconds.
  • 🧠 Enhance AI Understanding: Help AI understand your specific codebase instantly.

Features

  • Generate a directory tree structure
  • Capture file contents
  • Customizable depth for directory traversal
  • Ability to exclude hidden files and directories
  • Option to ignore specific directories and files
  • Copies the generated report to the clipboard

Quick Start

  1. Install: pip install copcon
  2. Run: copcon /path/to/your/project
  3. Paste the result into your AI chat

Usage

After installation, you can use the copcon command:

copcon /path/to/your/directory

Options:

  • --depth INTEGER: Depth of directory tree to display (-1 for unlimited)
  • --exclude-hidden / --no-exclude-hidden: Exclude hidden files and directories (default: True)
  • --ignore-dirs TEXT: Additional directories to ignore (can be used multiple times)
  • --ignore-files TEXT: Additional files to ignore (can be used multiple times)

For help, use:

copcon --help

By default, Copcon ignores the following directories: __pycache__, .venv, node_modules, .git, .idea, .vscode, build, dist, target

And the following files: poetry.lock, package-lock.json, Cargo.lock, .DS_Store, yarn.lock

You can add more directories or files to ignore using the --ignore-dirs and --ignore-files options:

copcon /path/to/your/directory --ignore-dirs my_ignore_dir --ignore-files my_ignore_file.txt

.copconignore File

Copcon supports a .copconignore file, similar to .gitignore, which allows you to specify patterns for files and directories that should be ignored when generating the report.

By default, Copcon looks for a .copconignore file in the root of the directory being processed. You can specify a custom location using the --copconignore option.

Example .copconignore file:

# Ignore all log files
*.log

# Ignore the temp directory and all its contents
temp/

# Ignore all .tmp files in any directory
**/*.tmp

Report Format

Copcon generates a report in the following format:

Directory Structure:
your_project_name
├── folder1
│   ├── file1.py
│   └── file2.py
├── folder2
│   └── file3.py
└── main.py

File Contents:

File: folder1/file1.py
----------------------------------------
[Content of file1.py]
----------------------------------------

File: folder1/file2.py
----------------------------------------
[Content of file2.py]
----------------------------------------

File: folder2/file3.py
----------------------------------------
[Content of file3.py]
----------------------------------------

File: main.py
----------------------------------------
[Content of main.py]
----------------------------------------

This format provides a clear overview of your project structure followed by the contents of each file, making it easy for AI models to understand your codebase.

Note
