FastStruct View case study

01 · Problem

Before Claude Code (May 2025) I used the Claude web interface to code. Sharing project context meant copy-pasting file by file manually.

02 · Process

I built FastStruct as a TypeScript VS Code extension: single command that scans the workspace, honors .gitignore, formats structured markdown and copies to clipboard. Configurable exclusion patterns.

03 · Result

5x faster personal workflow when instructing AIs. Published in the Marketplace, still useful even now with Claude Code for cases where I need compact context for sub-agents or external summaries.

Metrics

speedup: 5x faster context handoff
adoption: Marketplace published
precursor: Pre-Claude-Code era (< May 2025)
