Context-Rich Prompts for LLMs, Effortlessly

Right-click, paste, get answers. It's that simple.

PromptForge gives your LLM the full context it needs with a single click. No more copy-pasting multiple files - just right-click and paste for accurate, context-aware responses.

The Problem

When working with LLMs on code-related tasks:

  1. Copy a single file to ChatGPT
  2. Get: "I need to see the related classes to help you"
  3. Copy another file
  4. Get: "I still need to see how this interfaces with XYZ"
  5. Repeat until enough context is shared

PromptForge solves this with one click.

Features

  • One-Click Operation - Right-click, select action, paste to LLM
  • Complete Context - Automatically includes related files and dependencies
  • Full Control - You decide how much context to include
  • No API Keys - Works with any LLM you prefer
  • Task-Specific Prompts - Optimized templates for different use cases

Available Actions

Generate Tests Creates prompts for test generation
Explain Code Formats context for code explanations

Make Changes Structures context for implementation guidance

Generate Tests

Perfect for TDD or adding tests to existing code. Detects if you're working with a new file or modifying existing code.

Explain Code

When you're looking at complex code thinking "what does this even do?" - let an LLM explain it with full context.

Ask Questions

Have a specific question about your code? Ask it while providing all the context the LLM needs.
