Context (@-mentions)

Use @ mentions to guide the agent to exact files, folders, or symbols.

Common usage

  • @src/components for React or Vue UI updates
  • @server/routes for Express/FastAPI/Spring endpoint changes
  • @infra/terraform for infrastructure or deployment updates
  • @docker-compose.yml for local service orchestration changes
  • @.github/workflows/ci.yml for CI pipeline fixes
  • @package.json or @pyproject.toml for dependency and script updates
  • @mobile/android or @mobile/ios for native mobile changes
  • @README.md for docs and onboarding updates

Why it matters

Focused context improves response quality, reduces ambiguity, and speeds up task completion.
