cxt: A CLI/TUI Tool to Aggregate Code Files into One Clipboard Block for Claude
cxt is a CLI and TUI tool that aggregates selected directories and files into a single clipboard-ready block, wrapped in XML tags with file paths. Designed for developers using Claude or other AI coding agents, it provides full codebase context in a clean format.
Key Features
- Aggregates entire directories and specific files into one XML-tagged block with file paths.
- TUI picker for interactive file/directory selection.
- Piping support.
- Install via cargo (
cargo install cxt), Homebrew, or AUR (see README). --langflag to filter files by language. Example:cxt --lang rust src/extracts only .rs and Cargo.toml files;cxt --lang bash *includes only scripts.
Usage Example
# Aggregate all Rust files in src/ directory
cxt --lang rust src/Who It's For
Developers who frequently copy code context for AI coding agents and want an automated, structured way to include file paths and language-specific files.
