v1.3.0

Prompt Tower 1.3.0 - Enhanced Workflow & Reliability

The missing piece between your codebase and your AI assistant just got smarter.

This release focuses on developer experience and workflow optimization - making it faster and more reliable to build AI-ready context from your codebase. Whether you're using Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any LLM coding assistant, these improvements make context creation seamless.

Beyond just code: Prompt Tower automatically pulls from GitHub Issues to add complete project context to your AI conversations. We're building toward integration with modern project management tools like Linear, Notion, and Jira - because the best AI assistance comes from understanding both your code and your requirements.

🚀 What's New

⚡ Right-Click Context Menus

Add files to your prompt context without leaving your editor.

• "Add to Prompt Tower" - Right-click any file to instantly add it to your selection
• "Open Prompt Tower" - Quick access to the full interface from anywhere
• Zero friction workflow - No more hunting through file trees

Thanks to @arthurwolf for the suggestion that brought back this popular workflow from the legacy code (in main-legacy)

🔄 Selection Preservation

Your selections now persist through refreshes - finally.

• Smart persistence - File selections survive refresh operations
• Graceful handling - Only deselects files that are actually removed
• Multi-workspace aware - Works correctly across all workspace folders

Thanks to @K2adir for reporting this UX pain point (#27)

🛠 Quality-of-Life Improvements

• GitHub Issues refresh button - Consistent UI across all tree views
• Fixed Toggle All Files - Resolved command registration issue
• Better error handling - Clear, actionable feedback messages
• Enhanced built-in ignores - Smarter default file filtering (from 1.2.1)

📈 Recent Foundation Improvements

Multi-Workspace Support (1.2.0)

Complete support for VS Code multi-root workspaces - all your project folders now appear correctly in the tree view.

Thanks to @majdalsado and @jskulski for reporting (#28)

Architecture Modernization

• Clean service-oriented architecture replacing 1,448-line monolithic provider
• Independent service optimization for better performance
• Proper separation of concerns for easier maintenance and contributions

🎯 Why This Matters

Context is everything when working with AI coding assistants. Poor context leads to generic solutions that don't fit your architecture. Prompt Tower bridges this gap by making it trivial to:

• Package your entire codebase into AI-optimized prompts
• Include GitHub issues and discussions for complete problem context
• Maintain consistent prompt structure across your team
• Scale with large codebases using smart ignore patterns

Whether you're debugging with Claude, implementing features with ChatGPT, or refactoring with Cursor's agent, having the right context makes the difference between generic suggestions and solutions that actually work.

🔧 Technical Details

Compatibility: VS Code, Cursor, etc
AI Models: Optimized for Gemini (1M context), Claude coding agents, Cursor, ChatGPT Codex, etc
