inprompt 1.2.0

Simple CLI to output source code blocks for LLM prompts.

inprompt

A tiny CLI for outputting files or glob patterns as Markdown code blocks. Useful when you need to copy code into prompts for large language models (e.g., ChatGPT).

Usage

From the command line, you can pass files and glob patterns to inprompt:

inprompt pyproject.toml '**/*.py' | pbcopy

Note: It's important to enclose glob patterns (like '**/*.py') in single or double quotes. This prevents your shell from expanding the pattern before inprompt sees it, ensuring correct file matching, especially for recursive patterns (**).

The | pbcopy (or equivalent) then pipes the formatted output directly to your clipboard:

• On macOS, pbcopy copies STDOUT to the clipboard.

• On Ubuntu/Linux, you can use xclip. Define aliases for convenience:

  alias pbcopy='xclip -selection clipboard'
  alias pbpaste='xclip -selection clipboard -o'
  

  Then you can use the same inprompt ... | pbcopy pattern.

Any matched files will be printed to standard output (and thus copied by pbcopy) in the format:

<filename>
````
<file contents>
````

You can then paste those code blocks into an LLM prompt.
