mkcontext
mkcontext
is a command-line tool that generates context from files and command outputs, useful for large language models.
Features
- Process multiple files using glob patterns
- Execute shell commands and include their output
- Tokenize content using OpenAI's tiktoken
- Copy the generated context to the clipboard
- Limit the total number of tokens
- Include or exclude files based on glob patterns
Installation
To install mkcontext
, you need to have Rust and Cargo installed on your system. Then, you can install it using:
cargo install mkcontext
Usage
mkcontext [OPTIONS]
Options
-t, --token-limit <TOKEN_LIMIT>
: Optional token limit (default: 200000)-c, --command <COMMAND>
: Commands to execute and include in the output (can be used multiple times)-g, --glob <GLOB>
: Glob patterns to include or exclude files (can be used multiple times)-h, --help
: Print help information-V, --version
: Print version information
Examples
-
Process all Rust files in the current directory:
mkcontext -g "*.rs"
-
Process all JavaScript files in the
src
directory and its subdirectories, with a token limit of 16000:mkcontext -t 16000 -g "src/**/*.js"
-
Include the output of
git status
command in the context:mkcontext -g "*.rs" -c "git status"
-
Process Python files and include outputs from multiple commands:
mkcontext -g "*.py" -c "pip list" -c "python --version"
-
Combine file processing and command execution:
mkcontext -g "src/**/*.rs" -g "tests/**/*.rs" -c "cargo test" -c "rustc --version"
-
Exclude specific directories or file patterns:
mkcontext -g "src/**/*.js" -g "!node_modules/**" -g "!*.log"
How it works
mkcontext
processes the specified files matching the include glob patterns, excluding any paths or patterns specified by exclude globs.- It executes any specified commands and captures their output.
- The content from files and command outputs is tokenized using the cl100k_base tokenizer.
- If the total number of tokens exceeds the specified limit, an error is returned.
- The generated context is copied to the clipboard.
Glob Patterns
The -g
or --glob
option allows you to specify patterns to include or exclude files during processing. This is useful for selecting specific file types or excluding certain directories or files.
- To include files, use a regular glob pattern:
-g "src/**/*.rs"
- To exclude files or directories, prefix the glob with
!
:-g "!node_modules/**"
You can use multiple -g
options to specify several include and exclude patterns:
mkcontext -g "src/**/*.js" -g "!node_modules/**" -g "!*.log" -g "!build/**"
This will process all JavaScript files in the src
directory and its subdirectories, while ignoring the node_modules
directory, any .log
files, and the build/
directory.
Note
The tool uses the system clipboard, so make sure you have the appropriate clipboard drivers installed for your operating system.
