inprompt

A tiny CLI that outputs files as Markdown-formatted code blocks. Handy for pasting source into prompts for large-language models.

Usage

Pass files or glob patterns to inprompt and pipe the result to your clipboard:

inprompt pyproject.toml '**/*.py' | pbcopy

Need a different fence delimiter? Use --fence (or -f):

inprompt -f "~~~" script.py | pbcopy

Note: Always quote glob patterns such as '**/*.py' so the shell doesn't expand them before inprompt sees them.

The | pbcopy (or equivalent) copies the formatted blocks directly to your clipboard:

• macOS: pbcopy is built-in.

• Linux: install xclip and define aliases for convenience:

  alias pbcopy='xclip -selection clipboard'
  alias pbpaste='xclip -selection clipboard -o'

Output format:

<filename>
````         ← configurable with --fence / -f
<file contents>
````

Installation

pip install inprompt
