Codepick Format

What is it?

Codepick format is a structured Markdown syntax for embedding file contents with their paths. Each file is represented as a code block where:

1. Opening tag: 5+ backticks (`) followed by an optional language extension
2. First line inside: // file/path.ext (the target filesystem path)
3. Content: The actual file contents (any text)
4. Closing tag: Same number of backticks as opening

Example

// src/index.ts
console.log('Hello');

// config.json
{
  "name": "my-app"
}

// app/controllers/devices/application_controller.rb
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
    allow_browser versions: :modern
end

Rules

• Paths must start with // (space after slashes)
• The first line of the code block must contain only and exclusively the path (e.g., // src/index.ts), with no additional text, comments, or characters
• Code blocks with different backtick counts are supported
• Text between blocks is ignored (noise allowed)
• Empty lines inside blocks are preserved
• It is recommended to use 5 backticks (`) for wrap the code block fences to avoid conflicts with nested triple backticks inside file contents
