Console Copy Tool

Console Copy Tool: AI-Ready Console Capture & Filter for Chrome DevTools

Stop pasting 800-line console firehoses into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or Copilot.

Console Copy Tool captures all Chrome DevTools console output, auto-detects the [Tag] prefixes that AI coding assistants love to use, and lets you copy a filtered subset — formatted as clean
plain text — with a single click. Built for the AI-assisted development workflow.

✨ NEW: Auto-Detected Tag Filter

When Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Aider add debug console.log calls, they almost always prefix them with [Tag] — things like [Auth], [ApiClient], [CartReducer]. Console Copy Tool
detects these automatically and turns them into clickable filter chips so you can scope captured output to the exact subset you care about before copying.

- Auto-detected chips for [Tag], [Mod:Sub], [Tag1][Tag2] prefixes
- Click chips to filter; multiple chips OR-combine
- Free-text search with -foo to exclude matching messages
- "Include untagged" toggle for mixed real-world output
- Filter respects Copy All — you only copy what's visible
- Light + dark theme follows your DevTools preference

🤖 Built for AI Debugging

- AI-Ready Output: Clean plain text without emojis or formatting noise — drops straight into any LLM prompt
- Tag-Scoped Copy: Send your assistant only the [Auth] logs, not the entire console
- Source URLs and Line Numbers preserved on every captured entry for full context
- Format-String Aware: correctly handles %c styled logs and CDP argument types
- 5MB Clipboard Cap with control-character sanitization — safe to paste into terminals or chat without injection risks

✅ What It Captures

- console.log, console.info, console.warn, console.error, console.debug
- Stack traces from console.trace, console.assert, and explicit Error objects
- Uncaught JavaScript exceptions and unhandled promise rejections
- Network errors, fetch failures, runtime warnings
- Date / RegExp / Error objects rendered as their human-readable form

🛠️ Three Ways to Use It

- Toolbar popup — Start/Stop Recording, Copy Logs, Clear, with active-filter indicator
- DevTools panel — full chip filter UI, search box, and message list
- Right-click context menu — quick copy without opening anything

💻 Perfect For

- Developers using Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Aider, or Windsurf
- QA engineers attaching console output to bug tickets
- Tech support staff capturing customer-reported console errors
- Anyone debugging a complex issue and needing focused, copy-pasteable evidence

🔒 Privacy-Focused

- All capture is local-only — no network requests, no remote servers, no analytics
- Captured messages live only in extension memory while a tab is open
- Messages are deleted immediately when the tab closes
- Host permission (<all_urls>) is requested only when you click "Start Recording" — not at install
- Clipboard output is sanitized to strip control characters and ANSI escape sequences
- Open source under the MIT license
