treepick

# Specify a different directory  
treepick -d /path/to/your/project

How It Works

• File Tree Display - Shows your project structure in an interactive tree
• Multi-Select - Use spacebar to select files and folders you want to work with
• AI Integration - Automatically starts your chosen AI tool (Claude, Codex, etc.)
• File Context - Selected files are automatically added using the tool's syntax (e.g., @file.js)
• Interactive Session - You can then chat with the AI about your selected files

Example Workflow

$ treepick
# Interactive file tree appears
# Select src/components/Header.jsx
# Select src/utils/api.js  
# Select README.md
# Press Enter

🚀 Starting claude...
📎 Adding 3 files to claude...
✅ Files added successfully!

# Claude starts with: @src/components/Header.jsx @src/utils/api.js @README.md 
# You can now type: "Please review these files for potential bugs"
