Ask the codebase without pasting the repo
September 2026
You can now point SupaPM at a local folder — a product codebase, a dump of interview notes, or a research directory — and ask questions against it from the side panel. The agent does not swallow the whole tree. It gets a short map, then lists, searches, and reads only the slices it needs, the same way a coding assistant explores a repo.
Connect folders in Options, then attach one to a chat with @ and the folder name. They are not added to every conversation. Pin a folder to a project if you only want it in the @ list when that project is selected. Access is read-only: SupaPM will not write to your disk. Chrome and Edge grant a live folder handle and read files on demand. This is not offered in Firefox — Firefox has no live folder-handle API.
Secret-like files are refused, and common generated folders are ignored. When the agent reads a file, those bytes go to your configured AI provider, the same as attachments today — not to SupaPM servers.
What's new
- Options → Local folders: grant a folder, pin it to projects, rescan, or remove access.
- Attach a granted folder to the current chat with @. The side panel shows attached folders and prompts to allow access when the browser has dropped permission.
- Agent tools list, search, and read local files with hard caps so a naive search cannot pull a monorepo into context.
- Default ignore list plus
.gitignore, with a hard refusal for.env, keys, and credential filenames.
