mufeedvh / code2prompt
A CLI tool to convert your codebase into a single LLM prompt with source tree, prompt templating, and token counting.
Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does
What it does
- Terminal User Interface (TUI). Interactive terminal interface for configuring and generating prompts
- Smart Filtering. Include/exclude files using glob patterns and respect .gitignore rules
- Flexible Templating. Customize prompts with Handlebars templates for different use cases
- Automatic Code Processing. Convert codebases of any size into readable, formatted prompts
- Token Estimates. Estimate prompt size using parallel per-file token counts and estimated template overhead, including optional line numbers. The full rendered prompt is not re-tokenized, and the estimate excludes the JSON output envelope.

No single install command. Read the steps in the README (opens in new tab)
