About poorcoder
poorcoder is an open source repository of Bash scripts for using web-based AI chat interfaces alongside terminal-based coding. It is listed as DIY Poor Man's AI Coder and is intended to connect subscription-based LLMs such as Claude.ai or Grok with local project files without using an IDE integration.
The repository contains four tools. context extracts code from selected files and patterns for pasting into an LLM. apply-md reads code blocks from markdown responses and writes the changes to the filesystem. git-context generates information about current changes for commit messages, and autocommit uses that output to create a commit with an AI-generated message.
It suits developers who work in the terminal and use a browser-based AI assistant for coding tasks. Installation is by cloning the repository and making the scripts executable, with an option to copy the scripts and prompts folder into a project for customization.
