why we built it

ai chats won’t fit your repo into a single message — but they will fit a well-curated bundle of it. ctxstuff produces that bundle in one command, every time the same way.

no telemetry. no signup. no “ai-powered context selection” — just a small deterministic packer that respects your .gitignore. mit forever.
