# 🌉 BridgeContext
**The local-first bridge between AI silos.**

BridgeContext is a Chrome Extension designed for "model-polyglot" AI power users. It allows you to seamlessly capture context from one AI platform (like ChatGPT) and "inject" it into another (like Claude or Gemini) with zero copy-pasting and 100% local privacy.
## 🚀 Why BridgeContext?
We live in an era of model fragmentation. One AI is better at coding, another at creative writing, and a third at long-context analysis. Moving your conversational "brain" between them is a manual, high-friction process.
**BridgeContext removes that friction.**
### ✨ Key Features
- **Web Shuttles (v1.4.2)**: Instant 1-click transport to ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
- **Universal Capture**: Robust scraping engine for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, and more.
- **Smart Injection**: Injects context directly into chat inputs, supporting complex React and Svelte frameworks.
- **Local-Only Memory**: Your context never leaves your machine. Data is stored securely in your browser's local sandbox.
- **Expert Packs**: Pre-loaded with specialized personas (Architect, API Master) to prime your AI conversations.
- **Unified IDE Bridge**: Direct context piping into **VS Code**, **Cursor**, **JetBrains**, **Neovim**, and **Antigravity IDE**.
## 🛠️ How it Works
1. **Bridge**: Click "Bridge Context" in the popup on any AI page to save the current thread.
2. **Shuttle**: Or click a model button (e.g., **Claude**) to instantly shuttle context to a new tab.
3. **Inject**: On the target AI page, BridgeContext will prompt you to "Bridge Context?"—one click and your memory is injected.
## 🔒 Privacy First
BridgeContext was built with a privacy-native architecture:
- **No Remote Servers**: v1.4.1 is 100% local. We have no backend.
- **Zero Collection**: We do not track what you capture or inject.
- **Open Source**: Verify the logic yourself in our [scraper.js](scraper.js) and [storage.js](storage.js).

## 📥 Installation
### **The One-Click Way (Recommended)**
If you want to support all IDEs at once, run:
```bash
node master-install.js
```
This will register the native bridge and attempt to install plugins for VS Code, Cursor, Neovim, and Sublime Text automatically.
### Manual Installation (Standard)
1. Download this repository.
2. Go to `chrome://extensions`.
3. Enable **Developer mode** (top right).
4. Click **Load unpacked** and select the root folder of this project.
