About Agent Context

Agent Context is a VS Code extension designed to enhance AI-assisted development by providing AI coding tools with access to external reference codebases. It allows developers to attach external folders containing valuable code (e.g., previous services, internal starter projects, architecture patterns, experimental repos) to their current workspace. This is achieved by creating symlinks to these external projects within the workspace, making them accessible to AI tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor without copying or vendoring the code directly into the repository. The tool is built for developers who frequently reuse patterns across projects and want their AI assistants to generate more consistent and accurate code based on real-world examples. It maintains a clean repository by using symlinks and generates a shared instructions file that describes each reference project, helping both humans and AI understand their purpose. This enables AI tools to leverage a broader context, leading to better code suggestions and improved developer productivity, especially in environments where code consistency and adherence to established patterns are crucial.
