What should contextzip support next? - roadmap ideas & feedback

[akadeepesh]

Hey everyone 👋

contextzip is a CLI tool that packages the right parts of your codebase
into a ZIP ready to paste into Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI tool with
smart exclusions, git-aware packaging, and cross-platform clipboard support.

Just shipped v0.2.1 with exclude and include subcommands:

contextzip exclude CHANGELOG.md LICENSE .github/
contextzip include src/ app/ --dry-run

I'd love to know what would make this more useful for your workflow.

Some ideas I'm already thinking about:

• Ruby / PHP / Java / C++ rule sets
• A contextzip init command to save per-project config (.contextziprc)
• Token count estimation before packaging (so you know if it fits your model's context window)
• Direct upload to Claude / ChatGPT via API instead of copy-paste
• Output as a single flat .txt file instead of ZIP (some people prefer this)

Questions for you:

1. What frameworks are you using that contextzip doesn't detect yet?
2. Do you hit context window limits often, would token estimation help?
3. Any friction points in the current workflow?
