Ask this codebase

2 min read•Updated Jul 21, 2026

Overview

Ask this codebase lets you ask natural‑language questions about the repository connected to Moxie Docs and get answers based on the generated documentation. It is for anyone who needs quick explanations without reading the whole code or doc set. You ask a question in the Dashboard → Docs → Ask panel, then leave a thumbs rating, tags, and a short comment so results improve over time.

When to use it

  • You need a quick answer about how something in the repository works.
  • You want to find where a concept is documented without browsing folders.
  • You are onboarding and need context in plain language.
  • You want to flag an answer so future results get better.

How to use it

  1. Open Dashboard → Docs.
  2. Select the Ask panel.
  3. Type your question in natural language (for example, “How does authentication work?”).
  4. Click Ask to submit.
  5. Read the answer. If available, follow any referenced documentation links to learn more.
  6. Rate the answer by clicking Thumbs up or Thumbs down in the feedback widget.
  7. Add tags to describe the question or answer (for example, “auth”, “api”, “onboarding”) so similar questions are grouped.
  8. Leave a short comment explaining what helped or what was missing. This feedback is used to improve future answers.
  9. Ask a follow‑up question if you need more detail.

Options and settings

  • Ask panel: The main text box where you enter your question.
  • Ask button: Submits your question and returns an answer.
  • Feedback widget: Thumbs up, Thumbs down, Tags, and Comment fields attached to each answer.

Tips

  • Be specific in your question to get a more focused answer (include feature names or behaviors you see in the docs).
  • Use tags consistently across your team so related questions are easier to find later.
  • If an answer seems outdated, leave a comment noting what changed; Moxie Docs keeps docs current with docs‑only pull requests and your feedback helps prioritize updates.
