I’ve been using my own simplistic python script (written by Claude…) for this exact same purpose.

Confused by one thing though: Claude supports a 300K *token* file? Since when? If 300kb I can see it… ?

You are right bytes not tokens.

Nice looking script.

I* should turn it into a bookmarklet so you could just run it from a repository folder… maybe tonight

*and by “I” I of course mean Claude or o1

That’d be sweet. Thank Claude for me.

So it actually worked... surprisingly well. Until it didn't: it used a no key API approach which is limited to 60 requests from the same IP per HOUR.

Adding an option for the user to store a GH PAT goes against GH security recommendations

The best option may be a web extension... tbc
