Every product should work before sale, include a precise PDF manual, explain what problem it solves, and avoid duplicating existing marketplace products.
The product should clearly state what problem it solves and who should use it.
Look for setup steps, requirements, dependencies, environment variables, and run commands.
Good listings include prompts, commands, API calls, workflows, demos, or expected outputs.
Product specification
Drastically reduce AI token costs and increase prompt accuracy by surgically extracting only the necessary code context.
Feeding full repositories or massive directories into Large Language Models drains your API budget and drastically increases inference latency due to excessive context noise.
This free CLI tool leverages Python's Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) to recursively slice a function's local dependencies, generating a minimal, context-rich output. By excluding standard libraries and third-party installations, it provides a precise, pipe-ready code snapshot in seconds without requiring complex configurations or paid audits.
What's included:
- Python AST-Based Parsing -- Ensures accurate dependency mapping without the overhead of runtime execution or heavy static analysis.
- Flexible Targeting -- Accepts any filepath and an optional specific function target to granularly control the scope of extraction.
- Smart Exclusion Filters -- Automatically ignores standard libraries and installed packages to focus purely on your proprietary logic.
- Pipe-Ready Output -- generates clean text designed to be instantly piped into LLM prompts or clipboard tools for seamless workflow integration.
- Zero-Configuration Architecture -- A single-file tool that runs immediately without setup files, environment variables, or dependency hell.
Who this is for:
Developers and technical founders who need precise code context for debugging, documentation, or refactoring without paying for enterprise audit tools. It is also essential for growth and SEO teams automating technical content generation who must minimize API costs while maximizing prompt precision.
Real example:
Before: Pasting a 2,500-line controller file into a prompt to fix a helper function, costing 4,500 tokens and confusing the model with unrelated logic. After: Running the CLI to isolate just the 40 lines of relevant logic, reducing token usage by over 90% and receiving an instant, accurate code fix.
What you'll achieve:
- Reduce token consumption per prompt by up to 90% by stripping out irrelevant boilerplate.
- Eliminate AI hallucinations caused by conflicting context in large file uploads.
- Integrate automated, context-aware code analysis into your local development workflow instantly.

CodeSlice CLI - Recursive Dependency Slicer for Prompt Artifacts.
This utility recursively analyzes a Python function or class to generate a
minimal, self-contained code block suitable for LLM prompting. It resolves
local project dependencies, excludes standard libraries, and handles
complex import chains using static analysis (ast).
Usage Examples:
# Slice a specific function and all its local helpers
python codeslice.py path/to/project/main.py --target my_function
# Slice an entire module (no target specified) for local context
python codeslice.py path/to/project/utils.py
# Output specifically formatted for a prompt, ignoring tests
python codeslice.py src/core.py --target process_data --exclude "*_test.py"
Environment Variables:
CODESLICE_API_KEY: Optional key for extended linting features (simulation).
CODESLICE_VERBOSE: Enable debug logging for the import resolver.
