lx – convert selected files into clean, consistent Markdown-fenced blocks

lx converts files into simple Markdown-fenced blocks for easy use in LLM chats.

The goal is to make prompt setup repeatable. Instead of letting an agent guess context or manually selecting files in a UI, you define the exact context you want in one shell command and rerun it whenever you need a fresh session. It works smoothly with tools like rg -l, fd, and recursive shell globs.

This gives you a stable, controllable workflow:

  • You decide exactly what context the model sees.
  • If a conversation drifts, you restart instantly with the same context.
  • Adjust the command, rerun it, and paste the updated output.

This is free and open source software.
