@-Mentions
You can reference specific files, code symbols, and other resources directly in your messages using the @ character.
How it works
Type @ followed by a search term in the message input. A popup appears showing matching results from your indexed repositories:
- Files — source files, configs, documentation
- Code symbols — classes, functions, methods
- Documents — other indexed content
Select a result by clicking it or using the arrow keys and pressing Enter. The reference is inserted into your message as a highlighted pill.
When you send the message, the assistant receives the full content of the referenced item — not just the name. This means it has the exact file or symbol you're talking about, without needing to search for it.
Tips
- Be specific: typing
@authmight match dozens of files; typing@AuthMiddlewarenarrows it down - Use multiple references: you can
@-mention several files in one message, e.g., "Compare @config.py with @settings.yaml" - Reference then ask: mentioning a file and then asking a question about it is more reliable than asking the assistant to find the file itself
The @-mention feature depends on which repositories are indexed in your setup. If you don't see results, your administrator may need to add or re-ingest repositories.
