What Jinni does

Jinni is a tool to efficiently provide Large Language Models the context of your projects. It gives a consolidated view of relevant project files, overcoming the limitations and inefficiencies of reading files one by one. Each file's content is preceded by a simple header indicating its path:

Key capabilities

• Efficient Context Gathering: — Reads and concatenates relevant project files in one operation
• Intelligent Filtering (Gitignore-Style Inclusion): —
• Uses a system based on .gitignore syntax (pathspec library's gitwildmatch)
• Automatically loads .gitignore files from the project root downward. These exclusions can be overridden by rules in .contextfiles
• Supports hierarchical configuration using .contextfiles placed within your project directories. Rules are applied dynamically based on the file/directory being processed
• Matching Behavior: — Patterns match against the path relative to the target directory being processed. Output paths remain relative to the original project root
• Rule Root Behavior: — Each target has its own rule root:
• Targets within the project root (or CWD) use the project root/CWD as their rule root

Practical notes

• Maintained by smat-dev, written in Python.
