How Ask Plan links a browser-selected local codebase and how to answer questions from its indexed snapshots instead of guessing from file names. Use when the user asks about their linked local codebase or `localCodebase` is in application state.
# Local Codebase Chat The `local-codebase` application-state key is written by the Ask Plan browser folder picker when a user links a local codebase. It includes the selected folder name plus personal resource paths for the latest code index, file tree, and captured source snapshots. - The Ask Plan page can link a browser-selected local codebase folder. The UI indexes safe text files, skips generated/secret-looking paths, writes a small personal instruction resource under `instructions/local-codebases/`, and stores captured file snapshots under `codebases/<id>/snapshots/<timestamp>/`. - For live codebase questions, call `view-screen` when context is unclear and inspect `localCodebase`. First read its `indexPath` with the `resources` tool using `scope: "personal"`, then read relevant captured file `resourcePath`s before making claims. Do not infer API contracts, schema shape, or UI behavior from file names alone. - If the file needed to answer is absent or skipped, ask the user to sync again or attach the file instead of guessing. - For API/schema/UI visualization from a local codebase, call `get-plan-blocks` or `list-plan-components` before `visual-answer`, then publish blocks such as `openapi-spec`, `api-endpoint`, `data-model`, `diagram`, `file-tree`, `tabs`, and `annotated-code` grounded in the files you read. ## Related Skills - **visualize-repo** — durable repo-backed visual documentation from local plan MDX files. - **plan-source-sync** — reading and writing local plan folders.
