## Why contextzip?
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
Every AI coding session starts the same way. You hunt down the relevant files, skip `node_modules` and build output by hand, zip it all, find the zip and upload it. Next session, you do it again.
|
|
55
|
+
|
|
56
|
+
contextzip does all of that for you. Run it from your project root and it:
|
|
57
|
+
|
|
58
|
+
1. **Detects your stack** (Node.js, Next.js, Python, Django, FastAPI, Rust, Go, Ruby, monorepos included).
|
|
59
|
+
2. **Excludes the noise**: dependencies, build output, caches, binaries, logs, and anything in your `.gitignore`.
|
|
60
|
+
3. **Keeps secrets out**: `.env` files, private keys, cloud credentials and Terraform state are left out by default. If you include your `.env` on purpose, its values are redacted.
|
|
61
|
+
4. **Puts the ZIP on your clipboard** as a real file, so you can paste it straight into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or any other upload box.
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
When the AI sends changed files back, `contextzip apply-zip` writes them into your project safely, and warns you before touching anything you've edited since.

## Installation
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+
contextzip needs **Python 3.9 or newer**.
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
```bash
|
|
91
|
+
pip install contextzip
|
|
92
|
+
```
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
Installing with [pipx](https://pipx.pypa.io/) or [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) keeps it isolated from your projects:
|
|
95
|
+
|
|
96
|
+
```bash
|
|
97
|
+
pipx install contextzip
|
|
98
|
+
# or
|
|
99
|
+
uv tool install contextzip
|
|
100
|
+
```
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
This installs two commands that do the same thing: `contextzip` and the shorter `cz`.
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
To update later, run `contextzip update`. It works out whether you installed with pip, pipx or uv and upgrades the right one.
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
## Quick start
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
```bash
|
|
109
|
+
cd ~/projects/my-app
|
|
110
|
+
contextzip
|
|
111
|
+
```
|
|
112
|
+
|
|
113
|
+
You don't need any flags. contextzip detects your framework, excludes the noise, writes `codebase.zip` into `.contextzip/output/codebase/` and copies it to your clipboard. Paste it into your AI tool.
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
Some other common runs:
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
```bash
|
|
118
|
+
contextzip --dry-run --verbose # preview every included/excluded file, write nothing
|
|
119
|
+
contextzip --git-changes # only what you've changed
|
|
120
|
+
contextzip --prompt "fix the login redirect bug" # let AI pick the relevant files
|
|
121
|
+
contextzip include src/ app/ # only these folders
|
|
122
|
+
contextzip include src/ .env # .env too, values redacted
|
|
123
|
+
contextzip exclude tests/ '*.snap' # everything except these
|
|
124
|
+
contextzip apply-zip # write the AI's changes back
|
|
125
|
+
```
|
|
126
|
+
|
|
127
|
+
## Features
|
|
128
|
+
|
|
129
|
+
### Smart packaging
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
contextzip scans your project and recognises its stack from marker files such as `package.json`, `next.config.*`, `pyproject.toml`, `manage.py`, `Cargo.toml`, `go.mod` and `Gemfile`. It looks a couple of levels deep, so a monorepo with a Next.js frontend and a FastAPI backend gets **both** rule sets applied.
|
|
132
|
+
|
|
133
|
+
| Ecosystem | Examples of what's excluded |
|
|
134
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
135
|
+
| **Node.js / Next.js** | `node_modules/`, `.next/`, `dist/`, `build/`, `coverage/`, lockfiles, `*.min.js` |
|
|
136
|
+
| **Python / Django / FastAPI** | `__pycache__/`, `.venv/`, `*.pyc`, `.pytest_cache/`, `*.egg-info/` |
|
|
137
|
+
| **Rust** | `target/`, `Cargo.lock`, `*.rlib` |
|
|
138
|
+
| **Go** | `vendor/`, `bin/`, `go.sum` |
|
|
139
|
+
| **Ruby / Rails** | `vendor/bundle/`, `tmp/`, `log/`, `storage/`, built gems |
|
|
140
|
+
|
|
141
|
+
On top of the stack rules, contextzip also:
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
- respects your `.gitignore` (turn this off with `--no-gitignore`),
|
|
144
|
+
- flags large files (1 MB or more by default) and binary files before packaging,
|
|
145
|
+
- skips dangling symlinks and unreadable files, and tells you why,
|
|
146
|
+
- writes a plain-text report next to every ZIP listing what went in and what was left out.
|
|
147
|
+
|
|
148
|
+
### Package only what changed
|
|
149
|
+
|
|
150
|
+
```bash
|
|
151
|
+
contextzip --git-changes
|
|
152
|
+
```
|
|
153
|
+
|
|
154
|
+
This packages only the files git reports as **staged, modified or untracked**. It's ideal for code review or "here's what I changed, what's wrong?" prompts. Deleted files, submodules and monorepo roots are handled for you, and the secret-exclusion rules still apply to files git tracks.
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
### AI-powered file selection
|
|
157
|
+
|
|
158
|
+
```bash
|
|
159
|
+
contextzip --prompt "add rate limiting to the login endpoint"
|
|
160
|
+
```
|
|
161
|
+
|
|
162
|
+
Describe your task in plain language and [Gemini](https://ai.google.dev/) picks only the files that matter. The ZIP also includes a `prompt.txt` describing the task, so the AI tool you paste it into knows what you want.
|
|
163
|
+
|
|
164
|
+
- **Setup:** you need a free Gemini API key. contextzip walks you through it the first time you use `--prompt`, or you can set the `GEMINI_API_KEY` environment variable.
|
|
165
|
+
- **What is sent:** only the list of file **paths and sizes** that already passed the exclusion rules, plus your prompt. File contents never leave your machine.
|
|
166
|
+
- **Fallback:** if Gemini is rate-limited or unreachable, a local keyword-based selector takes over, so `--prompt` keeps working.
|
|
167
|
+
- **Model:** `gemini-2.5-flash-lite` by default.
|
|
168
|
+
|
|
169
|
+
### Applying AI changes back
|
|
170
|
+
|
|
171
|
+
```bash
|
|
172
|
+
contextzip apply-zip # picks up a ZIP from .contextzip/inbox/
|
|
173
|
+
contextzip apply-zip fix.zip # or point at one directly
|
|
174
|
+
contextzip apply-zip --dry-run # preview without writing anything
|
|
175
|
+
```
|
|
176
|
+
|
|
177
|
+
Every ZIP contextzip creates gets a **local manifest** containing a hash of each file. It's stored next to the ZIP and never inside it, so the AI tool never sees it. When a ZIP comes back, `apply-zip` compares every file against that manifest:
|
|
178
|
+
|
|
179
|
+
| Status | Meaning | Action |
|
|
180
|
+
|---|---|---|
|
|
181
|
+
| **New** | File didn't exist before | Written |
|
|
182
|
+
| **Modified** | AI changed it, and you haven't touched it locally | Written |
|
|
183
|
+
| **Unchanged** | Identical to what's on disk | Skipped |
|
|
184
|
+
| **Drifted** | *You* edited it locally since zipping | ⚠️ Asks before overwriting |
|
|
185
|
+
| **Untracked** | Exists locally but wasn't in the original ZIP | ⚠️ Asks before overwriting |
|
|
186
|
+
|
|
187
|
+
`apply-zip` only adds and modifies files. **It never deletes anything.** It also unwraps the extra top-level folder that AI tools and "Download ZIP" buttons often add.
|
|
188
|
+
|
|
189
|
+
### Terminal error watcher
|
|
190
|
+
|
|
191
|
+
```bash
|
|
192
|
+
contextzip watch -- npm run dev
|
|
193
|
+
contextzip watch -- python manage.py runserver
|
|
194
|
+
contextzip watch -- python -m pytest --tb=short
|
|
195
|
+
```
|
|
196
|
+
|
|
197
|
+
contextzip runs your command and watches its output. When a stack trace appears (Python, Django and Node.js/Next.js errors are recognised), it asks whether to package debug context. Press `D` and you get `debug-context.zip` containing:
|
|
198
|
+
|
|
199
|
+
- `prompt.txt`: an auto-generated description of the problem
|
|
200
|
+
- `terminal-error.txt`: the error output with ANSI codes and noise stripped out
|
|
201
|
+
- `source-files.zip`: the source files named in the stack trace
|
|
202
|
+
|
|
203
|
+
If you press Ctrl+C before packaging anything, you get one last chance to capture the whole session.
|
|
204
|
+
|
|
205
|
+
### Visual config UI
|
|
206
|
+
|
|
207
|
+
```bash
|
|
208
|
+
contextzip config --ui
|
|
209
|
+
```
|
|
210
|
+
|

This opens a local browser tab where you can tick files and folders to always include or exclude, with a live preview of what the ZIP will contain. It saves to `.contextzip/config.json`. The server binds to `127.0.0.1` only, needs a random one-time session token and shuts itself down when you're done.

|
|
230
|
+
|---|---|---|
|
|
231
|
+
| `--include PATH` | `-i` | Only include files under these paths. Naming an excluded path (like `.env`) brings it back. Repeatable. |
|
|
232

|
|
233
|

+
| `--no-gitignore` | | Ignore `.gitignore` and use only the built-in rules. |
|
|
239
|
+
| `--verbose` | `-v` | List every included and excluded file. |
|
|
240
|
+
|
|
241
|
+
Every command supports `-h` / `--help`, and `contextzip --version` prints the installed version.
|
|
242
|
+
|
|
243
|
+
For every flag of every subcommand (`apply-zip`, `watch`, `config`, `update`), see **[CLI.md](https://github.com/akadeepesh/contextzip/blob/main/CLI.md)** or the [online CLI reference](https://contextzip.vercel.app/cli).

+
|
|
245
|
+
## Configuration
|
|
246
|
+
|
|
247
|
+
contextzip has two config files, and both are optional.
|
|
248
|
+
|
|
249
|
+
### Project config: `.contextzip/config.json`
|
|
250
|
+
|
|
251
|
+
This holds per-project settings. Edit it by hand or with `contextzip config --ui`. Every key is optional:
|
|
252
|
+
|
|
253
|
+
```jsonc
|
|
254
|
+
{
|
|
255
|
+
"always_include": ["docs/architecture.md"], // force-include, even if a rule or .gitignore excludes it
|
|
256
|
+
"always_exclude": ["*.snap", "fixtures/"], // a standing --exclude on every run
|
|
257
|
+
"workspace_location": "git-root", // "git-root" | "cwd" | "/some/path"
|
|
258
|
+
"ai": {
|
|
259
|
+
"enabled": true,
|
|
260
|
+
"max_files": 10, // cap on files the AI may select
|
|
261
|
+
"prompt_template": "We use pytest, not unittest." // prepended to every prompt.txt
|
|
262
|
+
},
|
|
263
|
+
"limits": {
|
|
264
|
+
"max_file_size_mb": 1, // threshold for "large file" warnings
|
|
265
|
+
"redact_secrets": false // scan included files and mask secret-looking values
|
|
266
|
+
},
|
|
267
|
+
"applied_zip_retention": 1, // past apply-zip archives to keep
|
|
268
|
+
"cleanup": { "enabled": true, "keep_recent": 1 },
|
|
269
|
+
"webui": { "auto_open": true, "port": null }
|
|
270
|
+
}
|
|
271
|
+
```
|
|
272
|
+
|
|
273
|
+
`.contextzip/` is fully gitignored by default. If your team wants to share these settings, commit the file explicitly with `git add -f .contextzip/config.json`.
|
|
274
|
+
|
|
275
|
+
### Personal config
|
|
276
|
+
|
|
277
|
+
Your Gemini API key and personal defaults live outside the project, so they're never committed:
|
|
278
|
+
|
|
279
|
+
| OS | Location |
|
|
280
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
281
|
+
| Linux / macOS | `~/.config/contextzip/config.json` (or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/contextzip/`) |
|
|
282
|
+
| Windows | `%APPDATA%\contextzip\config.json` |
|
|
283
|
+
|
|
284
|
+
```bash
|
|
285
|
+
contextzip config # show the current configuration
|
|
286
|
+
contextzip config --reset-key # clear the Gemini key and set it up again
|
|
287
|
+
contextzip config --set-workspace cwd # put .contextzip/ in the current directory
|
|
288
|
+
contextzip config --show-key-path # print the config file location
|
|
289
|
+
```
|
|
290
|
+
|
|
291
|
+
The full option-by-option guide is at [contextzip.vercel.app/configuration](https://contextzip.vercel.app/configuration).
|
|
292
|
+
|
|
293
|
+
## What is always excluded
|
|
294
|
+
|
|
295
|
+
These patterns apply to **every** project, whatever its stack or `.gitignore` says, and in `--git-changes` mode too:
|
|
296
|
+
|
|
297
|
+
- **Secrets & credentials:** `.env`, `.env.*`, `*.pem`, `*.key`, `*.p12`, `*.pfx`, `*.jks`, `*.keystore`, `*.ppk`, SSH private keys (`id_rsa`, `id_ed25519`, …), `.npmrc`, `.netrc`, `.pypirc`, `.pgpass`, Docker auth config, `.aws/credentials`, service-account and `*credentials*.json` files, kubeconfigs
|
|
298
|
+
- **Infrastructure state:** `*.tfstate`, `.terraform/`
|
|
299
|
+
- **Version control & editors:** `.git/`, `.svn/`, `.hg/`, `.vscode/`, `.idea/`, swap files, `.DS_Store`
|
|
300
|
+
- **Logs, caches & temp files:** `*.log`, `logs/`, `.cache/`, `tmp/`, `*.tmp`, `*.bak`
|
|
301
|
+
- **Binaries & media:** executables, shared libraries, images, video, audio and archives
|
|
302
|
+
- **Project boilerplate:** `CHANGELOG`, `LICENSE`, `CONTRIBUTING`, `SECURITY.md`, `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`, GitHub issue/PR templates
|
|
303
|
+
|
|
304
|
+
To bring one back, name it explicitly with `contextzip include .env`, list it under `always_include` in the project config, or tick it in `contextzip config --ui`. `--exclude` and `.gitignore` can't bring them back, and naming a folder like `src/` doesn't pull in the secret files inside it.
|
|
305
|
+
|
|
306
|
+
**Secret files you include on purpose are always redacted.** If you include your `.env` so the AI can see which variables your app expects, every key and comment is kept but every value becomes `[REDACTED]`:
|
|
307
|
+
|
|
308
|
+
```bash
|
|
309
|
+
# .env on disk # .env in the ZIP
|
|
310
|
+
DATABASE_URL=postgres://u:pw@db/app DATABASE_URL=[REDACTED]
|
|
311
|
+
export API_KEY="sk-live-…" # prod export API_KEY="[REDACTED]" # prod
|
|
312
|
+
```
|
|
313
|
+
|
|
314
|
+
Other secret files (private keys, credential files) get a secret-pattern scan. Binary ones like `.p12` can't be redacted, so they're left out. All of this happens whatever your other settings say.
|
|
315
|
+
|
|
316
|
+
For extra safety, set `limits.redact_secrets: true` to also mask API keys, tokens, JWTs and private-key blocks hardcoded inside ordinary files that get included. Every run's report lists what was redacted.
|
|
317
|
+
|
|
318
|
+
> **Tip:** before sharing a sensitive project, run `contextzip --dry-run --verbose` to see exactly what will go into the ZIP.
|
|
319
|
+
|
|
320
|
+
## Where files go
|
|
321
|
+
|
|
322
|
+
contextzip keeps everything in a `.contextzip/` folder at your git root (change this with `contextzip config --set-workspace`):
|
|
323
|
+
|
|
324
|
+
```text
|
|
325
|
+
.contextzip/
|
|
326
|
+
├── output/
|
|
327
|
+
│ ├── codebase/ codebase.zip + manifest + report (contextzip)
|
|
328
|
+
│ ├── git-changes/ changes.zip + manifest + report (--git-changes)
|
|
329
|
+
│ ├── prompt/ vibe.zip + manifest + report (--prompt)
|
|
330
|
+
│ └── watch/ debug-context.zip (contextzip watch)
|
|
331
|
+
├── inbox/ drop AI-returned ZIPs here for apply-zip
|
|
332
|
+
└── config.json project config (optional)
|
|
333
|
+
```
|
|
334
|
+
|
|
335
|
+
Old outputs are cleaned up automatically, and only the most recent set is kept. You can change this with the `cleanup` setting.
|
|
336
|
+
|
|
337
|
+
## Python API
|
|
338
|
+
|
|
339
|
+
contextzip is also a library. The functions behave like the CLI but return plain Python objects and raise exceptions instead of printing.
|
|
340
|
+
|
|
341
|
+
```python
|
|
342
|
+
from contextzip import get_files, get_git_changes, create_zip, apply_zip, detect_ecosystem
|
|
343
|
+
|
|
344
|
+
# All project files, filtered by .gitignore and the built-in rules
|
|
345
|
+
collection = get_files(include=["src/"], exclude=["*.log"])
|
|
346
|
+
for path in collection.files: # plain pathlib.Path objects
|
|
347
|
+
print(path)
|
|
348
|
+
|
|
349
|
+
# Only git-changed files, zipped
|
|
350
|
+
changes = get_git_changes()
|
|
351
|
+
pkg = create_zip(changes, output="/tmp/changes.zip")
|
|
352
|
+
print(f"Packed {pkg.file_count} files → {pkg.zip_path}")
|
|
353
|
+
|
|
354
|
+
# What stack is this?
|
|
355
|
+
print(detect_ecosystem("."))
|
|
356
|
+
```
|
|
357
|
+
|
|
358
|
+
| Function | Returns |
|
|
359
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
360
|
+
| `get_files(path=None, *, include=None, exclude=None, …)` | `FileCollection` of all project files after filtering |
|
|
361
|
+
| `get_git_changes(path=None, *, use_project_config=True)` | `FileCollection` of staged, modified and untracked files |
|
|
362
|
+
| `create_zip(collection, output=…)` | `PackageResult` with the ZIP path, file count and sizes |
|
|
363
|
+
| `apply_zip(zip_path=None, …)` | `ApplyResult` describing what was written |
|
|
364
|
+
| `detect_ecosystem(path=None)` | Detected ecosystem information |
|
|
365
|
+
|
|
366
|
+
All exceptions inherit from `ContextzipError`: `NotARepositoryError`, `GitNotFoundError`, `GitCommandError`, `NoFilesError` and `ZipNotFoundError`.
|
|
367
|
+

368

## Privacy & security
|
|
371
|
+
|
|
372
|
+
- **Local by default.** Packaging, `apply-zip`, `watch` and the config UI never make network requests.
|
|
373
|
+
- **Network use is opt-in and limited to two features:**
|
|
374
|
+
- `--prompt` sends file paths, sizes and your prompt to the Gemini API. File contents are never sent.
|
|
375
|
+
- `contextzip update` asks PyPI for the latest version number.
|
|
376
|
+
- **No telemetry.** Nothing is collected or phoned home.
|
|
377
|
+
- **Manifests stay local.** `apply-zip` manifests are written next to the ZIP and never inside it.
|
|
378
|
+
- **Secrets are excluded or redacted.** See [What is always excluded](#what-is-always-excluded).
|

## Platform support
|
|
383
|
+
|
|
384
|
+
| | Windows | macOS | Linux |
|
|
385
|
+
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
386
|
+
| Packaging, `apply-zip`, config | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
|
|
387
|
+
| ZIP copied to clipboard as a file | ✅ native (`CF_HDROP`) | ✅ via Finder | ✅ built-in X11 owner (works under XWayland), or `wl-copy` / `xclip` |
|
|
388
|
+
| `contextzip watch` | ✅ (best in Windows Terminal / VS Code) | ✅ | ✅ |
|
|
389
|
+
|
|
390
|
+
If the clipboard can't be used, contextzip opens the output folder with the ZIP selected and tells you why. Use `--no-clipboard` to skip this step entirely.

|
|
394
|

Contributions are welcome, especially **new framework rule sets** and edge-case fixes. Not up for writing code? [Request a feature](https://contextzip.vercel.app/request-feature) or [request your language](https://contextzip.vercel.app/request-language). Both turn into GitHub issues ranked by 👍. To set up a local copy:
|
|
395
|
+
|
|
396
|
+
```bash
|
|
397
|
+
git clone https://github.com/akadeepesh/contextzip
|
|
398
|
+
cd contextzip
|
|
399
|
+
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
|
|
400
|
+
pip install -e .
|
|
401
|
+
contextzip --version
|
|
402
|
+
```
|
|
403
|
+
|
|
404
|
+
Adding a new language takes three small steps: a `PATTERNS` list in `contextzip/rules/`, one registry entry and one detection rule. [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/akadeepesh/contextzip/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) walks through it, along with PR conventions. Please open an issue before starting a large PR.
