By default, it auto excludes and shows user a toast like thing (detected blabla library files, that are excluded) + enables some checkmarks for this.

User can opt in to remove that exclusion.

it adds the related regexp patterns under the hood(not under the hood, user should see the added regexp at the input field field)

Hi, @yeargun !
Thanks for the suggestion! We already include a set of default ignore patterns, and you can opt out on the CLI by passing --no-default-patterns:
https://github.com/yamadashy/repomix?tab=readme-ov-file#ignore-patterns

That said, adding a toast-style notification (e.g. “Detected and skipped library files”) could be a nice UX improvement.

By the way, is this intended for use on repomix.com?
