Show HN: ContextBuilder for the Idea IDEs

I’m excited to share ContextBuilder – a new IntelliJ IDEA plugin designed to streamline your workflow for creating markdown contexts from your project files. What It Does:

ContextBuilder lets you select discrete files, folders, or any combination of both directly from your Project view. Simply right-click and choose Generate Context, and the plugin will:

Recursively gather file contents:

Whether you select a single file, an entire folder, or multiple selections, the plugin merges them into a single markdown document.

Immediate clipboard support:

The generated markdown context is automatically copied to your clipboard, ready for use in AI prompts, documentation, or code reviews.

Intuitive Tool Window Interface:

A docked tool window displays your context generation history, a detailed file tree preview, and even a token count (using jtokkit’s BPE encoding) to help you manage context size effectively.

Drag-and-Drop & History Management:

Easily add files by dragging and dropping them onto the tool window. The history view supports filtering, sorting (by date or name), and renaming entries, so you always know which context came from where.
