Streamline Your AI-Assisted Development Workflow (ideal for o1-preview / o1-mini!)

Hello all.

I’m excited to share LLM Context, a new open-source tool that enhances AI-assisted development by streamlining context management for LLM chat interfaces. It addresses a key challenge: efficiently providing relevant project information to AI assistants.

Timely Solution for the o1-mini:

With the recent release of o1-preview / o1-mini model, which don’t yet support file attachments in chats, LLM Context offers an immediate solution. It allows you to leverage this powerful new model for development tasks by efficiently sharing your project context through the chat interface.

Key Features:

  • Rapid context updates for each AI chat session

  • Smart file selection using .gitignore patterns

  • Seamless clipboard integration for easy pasting into web-based LLM chats

  • Support for various LLMs (Claude, GPT, o1-mini, etc.) and project types

LLM Context is designed for developers who prefer web-based LLM interfaces for their flexibility and power but want to minimize workflow disruptions.

Quick Start:

  1. Install: pipx install llm-context

  2. Navigate to your project root

  3. Run: lc-init

  4. Select files: lc-sel-files

  5. Generate context: lc-context

  6. Paste into your LLM chat (including o1-mini) and start collaborating!

We’re in the early stages and actively exploring ways to enhance AI-assisted development. Your feedback and contributions are crucial in shaping this tool’s evolution.

For a deep dive into why we developed LLM Context and its approach to AI-assisted development, check out our detailed article. This also includes real-world examples of code produced using this tool.

For comprehensive usage instructions and technical details, visit our GitHub repository.

Try it out with o1-mini or your preferred LLM, and let us know your thoughts!

P.S. LLM Context was built using itself – a practical demonstration of the tool’s capabilities. We’ve also documented our experiences using it to build our website and refine its structure.

I just released v0.2.0 of this with support for Model Context Protocol
