# WCGW A Mac only VS Code extension that helps you share code snippets with context to Claude. Designed to work with wcgw mcp https://github.com/rusiaaman/wcgw.git ## Features - Share code snippets from editor with context to Claude - Share terminal output with context - Add helpful instructions or descriptions for each share - Works with editor or terminal selections - **NEW**: Automatic detection and attachment to WCGW screen sessions - **NEW**: Polling mechanism to automatically connect to matching screen sessions - **NEW**: Custom terminal icons to distinguish WCGW screen terminals ## How to Use ### For Editor Content 1. Select code in the editor you want to share 2. Press `Cmd+'` or run command "WCGW: Send Editor Selection to Application" 3. Enter helpful text/instructions (or press Escape for default) 4. Extension will: - Switch to Claude - Type your instructions - Include selected code and context information 5. Press `Cmd+Shift+'` to copy the selected code with additional context: - Repository structure - Frequently relevant files (e.g., package.json, pyproject.toml, Readme.md, etc., listing at least 20 such files) ### For Terminal Output 1. Select text in the terminal 2. Press `Cmd+'` (Mac) or run command "WCGW: Send Terminal Selection to Application" 3. Enter helpful text/instructions (or press Escape for default) 4. Extension will: - Switch to Claude - Type your instructions - Include terminal output and context information 5. Press `Cmd+Shift+'` to copy terminal output with additional context: - Repository structure - Frequently relevant files (e.g., package.json, pyproject.toml, Readme.md, etc., listing at least 20 such files) ### For WCGW Screen Sessions The extension automatically detects and attaches to WCGW screen sessions that match your current workspace: 1. **Automatic Detection**: The extension polls every 5 seconds for new screen sessions 2. **Workspace Matching**: Only attaches to sessions where the hash and basename match your current workspace 3. **Visual Distinction**: WCGW screen terminals show with a desktop icon and "WCGW Screen: [basename]" name 4. **Manual Commands**: - Run "WCGW: Check and Attach to Screen Sessions" to manually check - Run "WCGW: Toggle Screen Session Polling" to enable/disable automatic polling **Screen Session Format**: Sessions must follow the pattern `PID.wcgw.TIMESTAMP.HASH.BASENAME` - Example: `555.wcgw.24-15h06m22s.be7.claude_playground` ## Example Output ### Editor Selection ``` Your instructions or "Here's the code to analyze." --- Workspace path: /path/to/workspace --- File path: /path/to/file --- Selected code: ``` [your selected code] ``` ``` ### Terminal Selection ``` Your instructions or "Here's the terminal output to analyze." --- Workspace path: /path/to/workspace --- Terminal output: ``` [your terminal selection] ``` ``` ## Extension Settings This extension contributes the following settings: * `wcgw.targetApplication`: Name of the application to send code to (default: "Claude") * `wcgw.screenPollingEnabled`: Enable automatic polling for WCGW screen sessions (default: true) * `wcgw.screenPollingInterval`: Interval in milliseconds for checking screen sessions (default: 5000) ## Requirements - macOS (required for automatic application switching) - VS Code 1.85.0 or higher ## Known Issues - macOS only currently ## Release Notes ### 0.4.0 Added WCGW screen session integration: - Automatic detection and attachment to matching screen sessions - Polling mechanism with configurable intervals - Custom terminal icons for WCGW screen sessions - Manual commands for checking and toggling screen polling - Workspace-based session matching using hash and basename ### 0.1.0 Added features: - Split into separate editor and terminal commands - New keybinding (Cmd+Shift+') for terminal selections - Improved error messages and context information - Better formatting of output ### 0.0.1 Initial release with features: - Code sharing with custom instructions - Works with or without code selection - File and workspace context - Reliable text entry through keyboard simulation
