Prompt Tower

Turn your entire codebase into AI-ready context in seconds

The Problem

Copy-pasting files into Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor one by one. Losing track of context. Getting generic solutions because the AI doesn't understand your architecture. Sound familiar?

The Solution

Select files with checkboxes → Generate perfect context → Copy to clipboard → Paste anywhere.

Prompt Tower packages your codebase—files, directory structure, GitHub issues—into AI-optimized prompts. Built for developers using Gemini's 1M context, Cursor's agent, Claude Code, or any AI assistant.

Install from Marketplace • Works in VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Google IDX

What You Get

Visual File Selection

Click checkboxes. See live token counts. No terminal commands or manual file paths.

Smart Context Packaging

Every prompt includes your project structure:

src/
├── api/GitHubApiClient.ts (5.2KB)
├── models/FileNode.ts (3.1KB)
└── services/TokenCountingService.ts (2.8KB)

Plus clean, structured file content:

<file path="/src/api/GitHubApiClient.ts">
export class GitHubApiClient {
  // Your actual code
}
</file>

Context Control with .towerignore

Keep prompts focused. Exclude test fixtures, generated files, or documentation:

tests/fixtures/
dist/
*.test.js
data/

GitHub Issues Integration

Import issues and comments directly. AI understands your problems, not just your code.

Token Intelligence

Real-time counting prevents surprises. Optimize for any model's limits.

Real Use Cases

Building features with Cursor's agent:
Select implementation files + tests + types → paste complete context → describe your feature → watch it build with full codebase awareness.

Debugging with Claude Code:
Include error logs + related files + directory structure → paste in TUI → get solutions that fit your architecture.

Massive refactors with Gemini:
Use the full 1M context window. Select entire modules, include architectural decisions as prefix text, let AI understand the complete system.
