Context helps the assistant answer with confidence. You can add it in a few quick ways.

​
Mention Exact Files with @

  1. Type @ to open the file picker.
  2. Search for files or folders and hit Enter to drop them into your message.
  3. Each reference appears as a pill you can remove with backspace if you change your mind.
Mistle reads those files before it replies, so the answer reflects the code you’re pointing at. When you only remember the concept, not the filename:
  1. Type # and describe the idea, like #credit card flow or #onboarding modal.
  2. Preview the matching files, then press Enter to include them.
Topics use semantic search to grab everything related—components, utilities, tests, and docs—so you get the full picture.

​
Drag and Drop When It’s Faster

  • Drag files from the Project Explorer, Git panel, or open tabs straight into the chat input.
  • Use the buttons in Ask Your Codebase to drop relevant results into the conversation.
Dragging is ideal when the file is already in view.

​
Share Images for Visual Context

  • Click the image icon to upload screenshots, mockups, or console logs.
  • Paste images from your clipboard if you already copied them.

​
A Few Guiding Principles

  • Explain your goal and what feels confusing.
  • Mention how you reproduced an issue and include the error text when you have it.
  • If you tried something already, point that out so the assistant can build on it.
