Ask Your Codebase combines semantic search with AI so you can get grounded explanations without digging through files by hand.

​
Open the Panel

  1. Click the Ask Your Codebase icon in the lower tray.
  2. Describe what you need to know and press Ask.
  3. Read the answer along with the source files it references.
  4. Use the action buttons to add those files to chat or start a follow-up conversation if you want to keep exploring.

​
What It Helps You Do

  • Trace how a feature works from end to end.
  • Surface the files that matter so you can drag them into chat.
  • Spot design notes, TODOs, or related tests that explain why code exists.
  • Kick off deeper reviews by sending the answer to a new chat thread.
Try prompts like:
  • “Walk me through the password reset flow.”
  • “Where do we format invoices before sending them?”
  • “Which files touch the onboarding checklist component?”

​
Troubleshooting

  • Index still building? Check Settings → Codebase Indexing and wait until indexing hits 100%.
  • Got a blank answer? Add detail—include a component name, function, or file path so the search can zero in.
  • Slow or interrupted stream? Make sure you have a stable connection and send the question again.
  • File too large? Trim attachments before re-running; the panel shows the current size limits.
