About AI Badger
AI Badger prepares focused repository context locally for use with any AI chat interface. It operates either from the command line or integrates with VS Code to support file and Git-change workflows without requiring repository integration or provider API keys. The tool processes repositories locally, ensuring context remains under user control and only leaves the system when explicitly shared. Users can initiate context preparation by pasting a coding goal or diff, then paste the resulting focused context into AI chats such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. AI Badger supports both individual files and entire repositories, with the VS Code extension enabling direct file and Git-change workflows. It also offers a CLI for repository-aware context generation and review payloads. The tool is designed to avoid noisy, risky full-repository dumps by creating bounded, relevant context for coding, design, or review tasks.
