What is copy-ai-context?

A command that gathers the current workspace's task, project summary, working files, changes, and AI handoff notes into clipboard-ready context.

Use it from VS Code, Cursor, the command line, or MCP to copy or export the workspace context as Markdown or JSON.

It removes the need to collect project details by hand when starting a conversation with another AI chat.

copy-ai-context — Command for Claude Code by ContoriumLabs

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ContoriumLabs/contorium

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install contorium, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 5 commands, 1 MCP server.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 351 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00351
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00176
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00070
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00035

Measured 8d ago against content hash 7b6f07328b38, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-08, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

copy-ai-context scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Copy AI-ready context

Export converged workspace context to the clipboard for any AI chat.

IDE

Open a folder workspace in VS Code / Cursor with Contorium installed.
Set Current focus in the sidebar (optional but recommended).
Edit/save files so understanding artifacts can build (~7s debounce).
Click Copy AI-ready context or run:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
