🎉 Context Generator 1.21.1 Released!

Hey everyone! We’ve just dropped a new version of Context Generator – 1.21.1. Here’s what’s new and improved:

---

🚀 MacOS Builds Added

Good news for Mac users!
We’ve added GitHub workflows to build binaries for MacOS:

• ✅ amd64
• ✅ arm64 (Apple Silicon)
  Now you can easily run Context Generator on any Mac.

🪟 Windows Build Fixed

We fixed issues with the Windows build.
Now you can run Context Generator on Windows without errors.

Example config for Windows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ctx": {
      "command": "C:\\Path\\To\\ctx.exe",
      "args": [
        "server",
        "-cC:\\Path\\To\\Project"
      ]
    }
  }
}

This config will:

• Run ctx.exe
• Start in server mode
• Use config from C:\Path\To\Project

📄 See docs here https://docs.ctxgithub.com/mcp-server.html#setting-up

✨ Better Git Diff Rendering

We made Git diff rendering more flexible.
You can now use a simple or full configuration:

Simple:

sources:
  - type: git_diff
    render: llm

Full:

sources:
  - type: git_diff
    render:
      strategy: llm
      showStats: true

📄 See docs here https://docs.ctxgithub.com/sources/git-diff-source.html#render-configuration

---

🧩 Schema Autocomplete for Configs

Now when you run ctx init, the config will include a $schema property.
This helps you get autocomplete and validation in your IDE.

Example:

$schema: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/context-hub/generator/refs/heads/main/json-schema.json'
documents:
  ...

💬 Prompt Configuration Support

You can now define and use prompts in your config.
Prompts are ready-to-use conversation templates for LLMs.

Example:

prompts:
  - id: generate-controller
    description: "Generate a controller for an entity"
    schema:
      properties:
        entityName:
          description: "Entity name (e.g. User)"
      required:
        - entityName
    messages:
      - role: system
        content: "You are a PHP code generator."
      - role: assistant
        content: "Tell me the entity name."
      - role: user
        content: "Generate a controller for {{entityName}}."

📄 See docs here https://docs.ctxgithub.com/mcp/prompts.html

🌍 Import Config from Remote Sources

You can now import config parts from:

• Local files
• URLs
• GitHub Gists

Example:

import:
  - path: services/api/context.yaml
  - url: https://example.com/context-configs/api-prompts.yaml
  - url: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/butschster/1b7e597691cc1a6476b15dc120ecbddb/raw/prompts.yaml

This helps you:
✅ Reuse prompts
✅ Share configs
✅ Keep everything modular & clean

You can check an example of shareable prompts here:
