Chatting with your codebase

How to ask great questions and get evidence-backed answers.

4 min read

Chat is the fastest way to get information out of Code Lexica. Every answer is evidence-backed: it cites the specific files and functions it used, so you can verify anything that matters.

Questions that work well

Chat is strongest on questions grounded in your actual code. A few examples:

  • "How does our auth flow handle expired tokens?"
  • "Where is the logic for calculating shipping costs?"
  • "What's the safest way to rename this database column?"
  • "Which services call the billing API, and what do they pass in?"

Why citations matter

If an answer cites three files, you can open them directly to verify. If a question can't be answered from your code, Code Lexica says so. It won't make something up.
