Future Roadmap & Epics

The following epics outline the planned features and architectural expansions for Context-Dump. They are categorized by technical impact and priority.

Epic 1: Security & Protection (High Priority)

Preventing the accidental leakage of sensitive credentials to LLMs.

  • Hardcoded Blacklist: Absolute denial of parsing for standard key files (.env, id_rsa, *.pem, *.key).
  • TUI Security Warnings: A dedicated UI panel that flashes red to alert the user if a wallet or authentication directory is detected.
  • Entropy Filtering: Pre-parsing analysis to detect high-entropy strings (potential API keys or passwords) and sanitize them before output.

Epic 2: Token Economics & Budgeting

Enhancing the user’s control over the exact payload size sent to the LLM.

  • Test Exclusion Shortcut: A dedicated TUI shortcut to instantly deselect all localized test files (e.g., *_test.rs, *.spec.ts, tests/).
  • Token Weight Heatmap: Rendering file names in the TUI using color gradients (Green/Yellow/Red) based on their token_estimate size.
  • Context Truncation: Setting a hard token limit per file; if exceeded, the parser will append an <omitted for brevity> marker instead of halting or flooding the context.
  • Priority Dumping: Reordering the final XML/Markdown output so critical files (README.md, configuration files) appear at the top, capitalizing on the LLM’s primary attention window.

Epic 3: UI Quality of Life & State Persistence

  • Mass Collapse/Expand: Shortcuts (e.g., Shift+Arrows) to recursively expand or collapse the entire file tree.
  • Project-Specific Persistence: Modifying the state manager to remember file selections on a per-project basis. If new files are added, they are selected by default, while previously unselected files remain ignored.
  • Clipboard Limits: Checking the native OS clipboard buffer capacity and warning the user if the project dump exceeds it.

Epic 4: External Integrations

  • Remote Repository Ingestion: Allowing the CLI to accept a Git URL, cloning it to a temporary directory, extracting the context, and self-cleaning.
  • Web Content Ingestion: A lightweight, headless HTTP crawler to extract text from a provided documentation URL without requiring heavy external browser binaries.
  • Third-Party File Filtering: Specific detection algorithms to auto-exclude generated dist or vendor content injected by package managers.
