Snapshots for AI now supports VSCode, Windsurf and Cursor

Hey team,

We're proud to announce that we have ported our Snapshots for AI PHPStorm plugin to work for VSCode IDEs including Cursor and Windsurf.

Snapshots for AI is a powerful VS Code extension that helps you generate well-formatted markdown snapshots of your code, making it easier to share context with AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and others.

This tool works perfectly with flowstate editors for assisting with realignment. For those not working with flowstate editors, this tool will strongly help align LLM chat instances with your goals by providing clear context to the LLM.
