Smart context management for LLM development workflows. Share relevant project files instantly through intelligent selection and rule-based filtering.

Getting the right context into LLM conversations is friction-heavy:

• Manually finding and copying relevant files wastes time
• Too much context hits token limits, too little misses important details
• AI requests for additional files require manual fetching
• Hard to track what changed during development sessions

llm-context provides focused, task-specific project context through composable rules.

For humans using chat interfaces:

lc-select   # Smart file selection
lc-context  # Copy formatted context to clipboard
# Paste and work - AI can access additional files via MCP

For AI agents with CLI access:

lc-preview tmp-prm-auth    # Validate rule selects right files
lc-context tmp-prm-auth    # Get focused context for sub-agent

For AI agents in chat (MCP tools):

• lc_outlines - Generate excerpted context from current rule
• lc_preview - Validate rule effectiveness before use
• lc_missing - Fetch specific files/implementations on demand

> Note: This project was developed in collaboration with several Claude Sonnets (3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 4.0) and Groks (3, 4), using LLM Context itself to share code during development. All code is heavily human-curated by @restlessronin.
