I built a VS Code extension to stop wasting time copy-pasting code into AI

A developer built CodeClipr, a VS Code extension that packages an entire codebase into a single AI-ready context payload with one click, eliminating the need to copy files individually into AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT. The tool is free to install from the VS Code Marketplace, with a pro tier offering advanced features.

Every time I wanted AI help with my code, I'd spend five minutes copying files

one by one into Claude or ChatGPT. By the time I'd pasted everything, I'd

forgotten what I was even asking.

So I built CodeClipr.

CodeClipr is a VS Code extension that packages your entire codebase into a

single AI-ready context payload in one click. You paste it into any AI

assistant and it actually understands your whole project.

I was spending more time context-switching and file-copying than actually

getting help from AI. The tools were powerful but the workflow was broken.

CodeClipr fixes that workflow. One click, full context, paste and go.

Free to install from the VS Code Marketplace:

Pro tier available for advanced features including custom personas and

export formats. Would love feedback from anyone who's had the same frustration.
