cxt

CLI that aggregates codebase files into one clipboard-ready block for AI chat

Desktopfree

cxt is a free, open-source Rust CLI that aggregates selected codebase files into a single, clipboard-ready context block formatted for pasting into web-based AI assistants like ChatGPT or Perplexity, with XML or Markdown tagging and file-path headers. It supports language and extension filters, ignore patterns, and an interactive TUI for fuzzy-searching and selecting exactly which files to include. It's for developers who don't use an AI coding agent with direct file access and instead need to quickly assemble the right code context to paste into a browser-based AI chat.
