Attachments

Codumentor can access folders on your local machine directly from the browser — no extensions, desktop agents, or tokens required.

This feature may not be available in all setups. If you don't see the attachment option, it may not be enabled by your administrator.

Attaching a folder

Click the + button next to the message input to open the attachment menu. Select the option to attach a local folder. Your browser will prompt you to choose a directory and grant access.

Once attached, you'll see a pill above the input showing the folder name. The assistant can now read, write, and navigate files in that directory.

How it works

This uses your browser's native File System Access API. The key points:

• No installation needed — it's a built-in browser capability
• Access is temporary — it's revoked when you close the tab or detach the folder
• You control the scope — you choose exactly which directory to share
• Read and write — the assistant can both read existing files and create or modify files in the attached folder

Detaching

Click the × on the attachment pill to revoke access. The assistant will no longer be able to read or write files in that folder.

Use cases

• Ask the assistant to review code on your machine that isn't in a repository
• Have the assistant write or modify files directly on your filesystem
• Analyze local log files or configuration without uploading them anywhere
