💡 Tips & Tricks
Include file context: Mention filenames in your prompt — "In auth.ts, why does the token expire early?" — the AI understands your project structure.
Chain fixes: After a fix, say "also add error handling" to continue improving without re-selecting code.
Paste errors: Copy a stack trace directly into the chat — the AI will explain and suggest a fix.
Use with tasks: All chat history and code analysis syncs with your NeonCodex dashboard for reference later.
🔐 Privacy & Security
- Your code is sent to NeonCodex AI servers only when you explicitly trigger a command
- No background scanning or telemetry of your files
- API keys are stored in VS Code's secure secret storage (never in settings files)
