About

What is ai-digest?

ai-digest is a CLI tool designed to aggregate your entire codebase into a single Markdown file, making it easy to provide context to AI models such as Claude Projects or custom ChatGPTs. It automatically collects all files within specified directories, ignoring common build artifacts and configuration files by default. Users can customize ignore patterns and even minify files, replacing their content with placeholders to save on AI token counts while still acknowledging their existence. The tool offers options for whitespace removal, file size statistics with bar charts, and a watch mode for automatic rebuilding upon file changes, streamlining the development workflow with AI assistance.

Best used for

Ideal for developers who need to provide their entire project's code to AI models like Claude or ChatGPT, analyze codebase structure, and get AI assistance on their projects. Especially valuable for ensuring AI has comprehensive, up-to-date context while managing token usage effectively.

FAQs

How does ai-digest help with AI token limits?

ai-digest helps manage AI token limits by allowing users to minify files. Instead of including the full content of large or less relevant files, it replaces them with a placeholder message, informing the AI of the file's existence without consuming excessive tokens.

Can I customize which files are included or excluded from the digest?

Yes, ai-digest supports custom ignore patterns through a `.aidigestignore` file, similar to `.gitignore`. You can also specify custom minify patterns in a `.aidigestminify` file to include files with placeholder content instead of their full text.

Does ai-digest support continuous monitoring of my codebase?

Yes, ai-digest features a watch mode. When enabled with the `--watch` flag, it continuously monitors your project files for changes and automatically regenerates the output Markdown file whenever a relevant file is modified, added, or deleted.
