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.
