Coding Context CLI

A command-line interface for dynamically assembling context for AI coding agents.

This tool collects context from predefined rule files and task-specific prompts, substitutes parameters, and outputs a combined context to standard output. Use it to provide rich, relevant information to AI models like Claude, Gemini, or GPT.

Quick Example 

# Install
sudo curl -fsL -o /usr/local/bin/coding-context \
  https://github.com/kitproj/coding-context-cli/releases/download/v0.0.23/coding-context_v0.0.23_linux_amd64
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/coding-context

# Use with an AI agent
coding-context -p issue_key=BUG-123 -s languages=go /fix-bug | llm -m claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
