IDE Code Context Memo Plugin

English | 中文

IDE Code Context Memo helps you collect selected code snippets, file locations, and task notes into a project-level memo that can be copied directly to a coding agent.

The repository contains two implementations:

• forIDEA: JetBrains IDE plugin for IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio.
• forVSCode: VS Code extension.

Features

• Adds a Code Memo side panel.
• Adds Record code context to the editor context menu when code is selected.
• Records project-relative file path, line range, best-effort code location, selected code, and a What to do note.
• Appends each record to the memo so users can freely edit the final text.
• Copies only the memo body.
• Persists task background, memo text, and history per project or workspace.
• Keeps at most 20 history snapshots and supports deleting a single snapshot.
• Supports DeepSeek/OpenAI-compatible chat completion APIs.
• Provides two editable AI prompt sets: Chinese and English.
• Uses the selected prompt language to generate memo field labels:
  • Chinese: 文件, 行号, 位置, 关键代码, 要做什么
  • English: File, Line, Location, Key Code, What to do
• Keeps the product UI in English.
• Uses a blank line between memo records instead of decorative separators.
