🤔 What it Does

When interacting with Large Language Models (LLMs) or AI chatbots, providing relevant context is crucial for getting good results. packUp4AI helps you gather this context directly from your Obsidian vault.

Starting from your currently open note, it:

1. Collects: Finds notes linked from and optionally to your starting note, going out to a specified number of "hops" (Collection Depth).
2. Visualizes: Displays an interactive graph showing the relationships between the collected notes. Nodes are sized based on their word count.
3. Stats: Shows you how many notes were collected and provides basic word count statistics (total, average, range).
4. Exports: Allows you to easily copy this context bundle to your clipboard or save it as a new Markdown file in your vault.

This makes it much easier to copy-paste relevant information from your vault into your favorite AI tool.
