Enhanced Repository Context and Multi-File Selection

Currently, developers must manually paste individual files into conversations, leading to fragmented context and inefficient interactions. This feature request proposes two key enhancements:

Repository/Folder Context Selection:

Enable users to designate a specific folder or repository root as a persistent context for the AI conversation. This would allow the AI to:

  • Access and understand the full project structure

  • Reference related files without manual sharing

  • Maintain awareness of project dependencies and configurations

  • Track changes across multiple files in real-time

  • Provide more contextually aware suggestions and solutions

  • Multi-File Selection for Sharing:

Implement the ability to select and share multiple files simultaneously in a conversation to:

  • Eliminate the need for multiple individual file pastes

  • Preserve file relationships and dependencies

  • Allow for comprehensive code reviews across multiple files

  • Reduce premium AI token usage by avoiding repeated file-sharing

  • Enable more efficient problem-solving with complete context

These features would significantly improve development workflow efficiency and ensure more effective use of premium AI model allocations by reducing redundant file sharing and providing comprehensive project context in a single action.

Piggybacking on this: I would love to be able to add files that were the results of a find or grep command (or pick up the files from the vscode global search interface)

I am working on a dynamic cursor rules extension that might help with this as well. It’s VERY early in development, e.g. I just got the extension to install locally, but it’s coming along…
