I got tired of the copy-paste chaos.

You know the drill: Copy index.ts, paste to ChatGPT. Copy utils.ts, paste to AI. Write prompt. Copy code back. Paste into VS Code. Realize you pasted it in the wrong place.

I wanted the speed of those expensive "AI IDEs" without the monthly subscription. So I built a bridge for my terminal.

Meet aidx

It’s a zero-config CLI that handles the transport layer between your code and the AI.

🚀 Try it out (No install needed)

npx aidx

🔄 How it works

Grab Context

npx aidx copy

Scans your folder (ignores node_modules, .git, .env).
Lets you pick files interactively.
Copies them to your clipboard with a strict XML prompt for the AI.

Apply Changes

npx aidx apply

Reads the AI's XML response from your clipboard.
Shows you a Git-style diff (Green + / Red -).
Writes the changes to disk only after you confirm Y

💡 Why I use it daily

⚡️ Fast: No more Alt-Tabbing five times for one bug fix.
🛡️ Safe: It scans for secrets (API keys) and blocks them before copying.
💾 Backups: It automatically creates .bak files before overwriting anything.
💸 Free: No API keys required. It uses your existing ChatGPT/Claude web session.
