Show HN: Chrome extension, grab any codebase as .txt (GitHub, Monaco, StackBlitz

1 points by wolfejam 2 months ago · 0 comments · 1 min read

I built this Chrome extension to solve my own problem: I was constantly testing things in StackBlitz, Monaco playgrounds, and GitHub repos, then needing to paste that code into Claude or Cursor to ask questions about it. Manually copying files one by one was annoying.

  The extension extracts the entire codebase from whatever environment
  you're in (GitHub, Monaco editor, StackBlitz, GitLab, CodeSandbox, Replit,
   etc.) and copies it to your clipboard as clean .txt. One click, done.

  Chrome Web Store:

  GitHub (MIT): https://github.com/Wolfe-Jam/faf-chrome-extension

  Built with Svelte 5 + TypeScript. Google approved it. Currently has 9
  downloads (honest number—just launched). But it genuinely works well,
  which is why I use it daily.

  The .txt format is intentionally simple—human-readable, AI-compatible, and
   acts as a pre-cursor to our .faf format (structured AI context). If you
  work with AI coding assistants and ever think "I wish I could just grab
  all this code at once," this is that tool.

  Happy to answer questions about the implementation, platform detection
  logic, or anything else..
