Focusing Context in Chat
You can specify context from files, folders, and external documentation in your conversation to focus your chat responses.
About Chat Context
Augment intelligently includes context from your entire workspace based on the ongoing conversation–even if you don’t have the relevant files open in your editor–but sometimes you want Augment to prioritize specific details for more relevant responses.
Focusing context for your conversation
You can specify context by clicking the
icon at the top-left of the Chat panel or by @-mentioning in the input field. You can use fuzzy search to filter the list of context options quickly. There are a number of different types of additional context you can add to your conversation:- Highlighted code blocks
- Specific files or folders within your workspace
- 3rd party documentation, like Next.js documentation
Mentioning files and folders
Include specific files or folders in your context by typing @ followed by the file or folder name. For example, @routes.tsx will include the routes.tsx file in your context. You can include multiple files or folders.
Mentioning 3rd party documentation
You can also mention 3rd party documentation in your context by typing @ followed by the name of the documentation. For example, @Next.js will include Next.js documentation in your context. Augment provides nearly 300 documentation sets spanning across a wide range of domains such as programming languages, packages, software tools, and frameworks.
