Context Picker

AI chats

About

A dropdown menu for attaching files, docs or other context sources to an AI chat prompt, with search and multi-select ticks instead of a focus-stealing dialog.

Built with React and Tailwind. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable: your agent adds Context Picker to your project and fits it to your theme.

Code

How Context Picker is used: the demo's code. The component's own source comes with a free account.

Usage.tsx

"use client";

import { ContextPicker } from "@/components/ui/context-picker";
import { FileCode, Globe, ImageIcon, Terminal } from "lucide-react";
import { useState } from "react";

function ContextPickerDemo() {
  const sources = [
    {
      id: "button",
      label: "button.tsx",
      group: "Open files",
      detail: "1-86",
      icon: <FileCode />,

      <ContextPicker
        sources={sources}
