Whenever I feed codebases into local models (Qwen, DeepSeek R1) or API models, the biggest annoyance is prompt pollution: - Lockfiles (`Cargo.lock`, `package-lock.json`) burning 30,000+ tokens for zero reason. - SVGs, binary files, or build artifacts slipping into the context. - Existing packers taking 3-4 seconds just to generate the prompt. I built a small tool called **repOx** to fix this for my own workflow. GitHub: https://github.com/WVDYC/repOx Features: **Speed:** Written in Rust, takes ~14ms to dump a 3k-file repo. **Lazygit-style TUI (`repox -i`):** Opens a fast terminal UI where you can uncheck folders with Space, preview files, search with `/`, and watch a live token gauge before copying. **Clean output:** Strips lockfiles and binaries by default using Git NUL-byte heuristics. Dumps straight to clipboard (`repox -c`). **Offline Tokenizer:** Supports token budgets for Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Llama contexts so you know beforehand if you're exceeding your window. One-line install (macOS / Linux): `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WVDYC/repOx/main/install.sh | sh` Code is open source (MIT / Apache). Curious what you all currently use for feeding code into LLMs and if there are specific prompt templates you'd like added.   submitted by   /u/Wvdy_CC [link]   [comments]
