What it does

🎉 File Tree Context — Automatically save your project's file tree between tags on every file save! Perfect for enhancing AI IDE context (like Cursor) and improving code suggestions. Customizable with ignore patterns and target files. 🚀

Extension&#32;for&#32;Visual&#32;Studio&#32;Code&#32;-&#32;Save&#32;your&#32;project's&#32;file&#32;tree&#32;into&#32;a&#32;file&#32;between&#32;<FileTree>&#32;tags&#32;on&#32;save.&#32;Useful&#32;for&#32;providing&#32;context&#32;to&#32;AI&#32;IDE&#32;like&#32;Cursor&#32;(in&#32;.cursorrules)

Save your project's file tree into a file between <FileTree> tags on save. Useful for providing context to AI IDEs like Cursor (e.g., in .cursorrules ). File Tree Context is a Visual Studio Code extension that automatically generates a textual representation of your project's file tree. This file tree is inserted between <FileTree> tags in a specified target file whenever you save a file in the workspace. By providing a snapshot of your project structure, this extension can enhance the context available to AI tools and IDEs that utilize such information for code suggestions, refactoring, or other intelligent features. Reload or restart Visual Studio Code to activate the extension. To use…from marketplace.visualstudio.com

    Cursor IDE now remembers your coding prefs using MCP2025 · ▲109

    Hi, I'm Daniel from Zep. I've integrated the Cursor IDE with Graphiti, our open-source temporal knowledge graph framework, to provide Cursor with persistent memory across sessions. The goal was simple: help Cursor remember your coding preferences, standards, and project specs, so you don't have to constantly remind it. Before this integration, Cursor (an AI-assisted IDE many of us already use daily) lacked a robust way to persist user context. To solve this, I used Graphiti’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which allows structured data exchange between the IDE and Graphiti's temporal…

    I built a more productive way to manage AI chats2025 · contextch.at · ▲162

    I released ContextChat, an AI chat designed to be context-centric, helping you stay focused and productive by giving you control over the information your AI sees. You can import websites, files, and public&#x2F;private GitHub repos to give the AI full knowledge of your projects. Unlike other chatbots, ContextChat lets you easily switch between project contexts, so you get relevant answers and avoid the noise. It's pay-per-use, giving you flexibility and control over costs and free models are available so you can try it for free with no monthly subscriptions. Let me know your feedback!

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
