i guess I shouldn’t be surprised that many of us have approached this in different ways. it’s neat to see already multiple replies of the sort I’m going to make too, which is to share the approach I’ve been taking, which is to concatenate or to “summarize” the code, with particular attention on dependency resolution.

It took the shape that it has because it started as a tool to concatenate a library i had been working on into a single ipynb file so that I didn’t need to install the library on the remote colab, thus the dependency graph was born (as was the ascii graph plotter ‘phart’ that it uses) and then as I realized this could be useful to share code with an LLM, started adding the summarization capabilities, and in some sort of meta-recursive-irony, worked with Claude to do so. :-)

I’ve put a collection of ancillary tools I use to aid in the pairing with LLM process up at https://github.com/scottvr/LLMental
