AI-native context generation

Make AI understand
your codebase

Generate intelligent context files that help AI assistants truly understand your project. Not just file dumps — structured analysis with prioritization.

$curl -sSL https://livectx.com/install.sh | bash && livectx generate
Terminal
$ livectx generate
CONTEXT.md generated
SYSTEM_PROMPT.md generated

See what you get

Two files that transform how AI understands your project

SYSTEM_PROMPT.md
# SYSTEM_PROMPT.md

You are an AI assistant specialized in helping developers work with the **myproject** codebase.

Everything you need

Built for developers who want AI to truly understand their code

AI-Powered Analysis

Uses LLM to analyze your codebase and identify key files, architecture patterns, and coding conventions.

Intelligent Prioritization

Orders files by importance so AI assistants understand your project structure immediately.

System Prompt Generation

Creates tailored AI assistant instructions specific to your codebase.

CI/CD Integration

GitHub Action keeps your context files automatically updated on every push.

Privacy First

Your code stays between you and your chosen LLM provider. No data stored.

Fast Generation

Scans and generates context in seconds, not minutes.

Context, not just code dumps

Most tools pack your files into a single document. livectx goes further — it uses AI to understand your codebase and generate context that actually helps AI assistants work effectively.

What you get

  • AI-identified key files

    Entry points, core logic, and important configurations automatically detected

  • Tailored system prompts

    Custom AI instructions based on your project's patterns and conventions

  • Importance-ordered output

    Files prioritized by relevance, not alphabetically or by size

  • Architecture analysis

    Tech stack, patterns, and coding conventions automatically documented

Perfect for

Onboarding AI to your project

Give any AI assistant deep understanding of your codebase in one command.

Teams using Claude Code

Auto-generated context files that stay in sync with your codebase.

Complex codebases

AI identifies what matters most so assistants focus on the right files.

Get started in 30 seconds

1. Install livectx

Terminal
$ curl -sSL https://livectx.com/install.sh | bash

2. Generate context (prompts for API key on first run)

Terminal
$ cd your-project && livectx generate

Common questions

Where does my code go?

Only to your chosen LLM provider (Anthropic or OpenRouter). livectx doesn't store, log, or transmit your code anywhere else.

How much does it cost?

~$0.01-0.05 per generation depending on codebase size. Caching automatically skips regeneration if nothing changed.

What AI tools does it work with?

Any tool that reads markdown files — Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Aider, or just paste into ChatGPT. livectx integrate auto-configures popular tools.
