PrepareProjectForLLMPrompt Extension for VS Code

Transform your small-to-medium scale code project into a Markdown document suitable for interaction with Language Learning Models (LLM) like GPT-4. This extension enables you to select code files in your workspace and compile them into a Markdown-formatted document that can serve as a prompt for LLMs.

Why This Extension?

• Code Review with AI: Perfect for when you want to leverage LLMs for code review or code-related querying.
• Token Management: Takes care of token limits for the generated Markdown document to ensure LLM compatibility.
• Dynamic File Selection: Offers multiple methods for selecting code files, including individual selection and extension-based filtering.

Features

File Selection Modes

• Choose All Files: Automatically selects all code files in your workspace.
• Choose Individual Files: Enables you to select specific files. Your selection is saved for future reference.
• Choose File Extensions: Allows you to include files based on their extensions.

Token Limit and Status Bar

• Token Counter: Keeps track of the token count and displays it in the status bar.
• Token Limit: Configurable maximum token limit for the generated Markdown output.

Previous Selections

• Memory: Remembers your previous file selection choices and pre-selects them the next time.

Visual Studio Marketplace

This extension is available on the Visual Studio Marketplace for Visual Studio Code.

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code 1.58.0 or higher
• Node.js 14 or higher
• The @dqbd/tiktoken package for token counting

Installation

1. Install the extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
2. Install the required Node.js packages.
3. Configure the extension settings if needed.

Extension Settings

• prepareForLLM.tokenLimit: Maximum token limit for the generated Markdown document. Default is 7500.
• prepareForLLM.exclusions: Directories or files to exclude. Defaults to ['node_modules', '.git'].

How It Works

1. Initialization: Once activated, the extension caches token counts for all files in your workspace.
2. File Selection: You can choose files individually, select all, or filter by file extensions.
3. Markdown Compilation: Selected files are compiled into a Markdown document with the programming language specified for each code block.
4. Token Management: The extension ensures that the token count does not exceed the specified limit by breaking the content into batches if necessary.
5. Output: A new Markdown document is opened in VS Code containing the compiled code files.

Known Issues

• The extension may not handle very large files (> 1MB) effectively.
