Show HN: Context Copy - VS Code extension for quickly copying context<p>I&#x27;ve developed a VS Code extension called &quot;Context Copy&quot; that allows developers to swiftly copy multiple files with their full context, formatted as markdown. It&#x27;s designed to streamline the process of sharing code snippets with AI assistants (like ChatGPT or Claude) or in documentation.<p>Key features: - Select multiple files in VS Code Explorer - Right-click to copy full context as markdown - Automatic language detection for syntax highlighting - Includes file paths for better context preservation - Copies directly to clipboard for instant sharing<p>Use cases: - Providing comprehensive code context to AI assistants for more accurate responses - Creating detailed code documentation with proper formatting and file structure - Generating quick, well-formatted code snippets for Stack Overflow answers or GitHub issues<p>It&#x27;s open source and available on <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;collinc777&#x2F;context-copy">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;collinc777&#x2F;context-copy</a>. I&#x27;m keen to hear your thoughts and suggestions for making it even more useful!<p>VS Code Marketplace: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marketplace.visualstudio.com&#x2F;items?itemName=collinc777.context-copy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marketplace.visualstudio.com&#x2F;items?itemName=collinc7...</a>
