angular-grab: Tool for Extracting Angular Component Context for AI Agents
What angular-grab does
angular-grab solves the manual context gathering problem when working with AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot on Angular applications. Instead of manually collecting and explaining component structures, HTML, and file locations, you can extract this information with a single command.
How it works
During development, you point at any UI element in your Angular dev server and press Cmd+C. The tool copies to your clipboard:
- Complete component ancestry (the entire component tree, not just the selected element)
- Source file locations with line numbers
- Cleaned HTML output without framework artifacts
This output can be pasted directly into any AI tool that accepts text input.
Key features
- Zero production impact (dev-only tool)
- MIT licensed and free
- Works with any AI agent that accepts text input
- Recently added MCP server support for fewer steps in getting context
Installation and setup
Install with: npx @nacho-labs/angular-grab init
The tool was built to reduce time spent manually gathering context for AI coding sessions, particularly useful for developers and QA teams working with Angular projects.
