WCGW is a macOS-only Visual Studio Code extension designed to help users share code snippets and terminal outputs with the AI application Claude, including relevant contextual details.
To use WCGW, simply select the desired code or terminal output, trigger the designated keyboard shortcut, and optionally add any specific instructions. The tool will then automatically switch to Claude and format the shared content with the provided context.
Key features include the ability to share code and terminal outputs with Claude, add custom instructions, automatically include repository structure and frequently relevant files, and seamless integration with Visual Studio Code on macOS.
Common use cases are sharing code snippets for debugging assistance, sending terminal outputs for analysis or troubleshooting, and quickly providing context for code review sessions.
