How it works

1. Copy an ASCII tree from any AI (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.)
2. Press Cmd+Shift+G (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+G (Windows)
3. All folders and files are created instantly

Example

Copy this from ChatGPT:

project/
├── client/
│ ├── src/
│ └── ...
├── server/
│ ├── index.js
│ └── ...
└── .gitignore

Press the shortcut → Done. Your entire file structure is ready.

Why you need it

Perfect for

• AI‑generated projects — paste any tree from ChatGPT/Claude
• Quick prototypes — set up the skeleton in seconds
• Teaching / tutorials — share project structures instantly
