Copy for Claude

A VS Code extension that copies file references — with or without selected code — directly to your clipboard, formatted for use with Claude Code.

Features

Copy File & Lines — copies a @workspace/path/to/file.ts:line reference so Claude Code can jump straight to the location.

Copy File, Lines & Code — copies the same reference plus the selected code wrapped in a fenced code block, ready to paste into a Claude conversation.

Reference link navigation — recognize @workspace/path/to/file.ts:line references in text and click them to open the file with the specified line range selected. Use Ctrl+Click on Windows/Linux or Cmd+Click on macOS to follow the link.

Example output

Reference only:

@my-project/src/utils/auth.ts:42

Reference with code:

@my-project/src/utils/auth.ts:42-58

export function verifyToken(token: string): boolean {
  ...
}

Usage

Both commands are also available in the editor right-click context menu under Copy for Claude.
