How to add folder to chat

Discussion

Is it possible to pass a folder/directory into the chat?

I see options to add single files, I see the @Folders suggestion but it doesn’t seem to work.

I want to pass a folder with many sub folders and files to the chat.

Thanks.

Hey, it should be working. Just try typing the folder name, and they should appear. Here’s my screenshot:

I have the same issue. Adding folders to Chat doesn’t work. See gif below.

I’m seeing similar results. I’m mentioning my documentation and documentation manifest, and mentioning the folder. I just get highly generalized “guidance”, and a message about how it can be more specific if I give it my code + docs.

I’ve also tried this with @Codebase, and it does not work either.

I thought for sure the Cursor model would at least work with these sets of functionality, but no luck there either.

I noticed I had to have the folder selected in the UI then type @ and that seemed to make it work.

Hey, I notice you’re still using the prompt I suggested :joy:

After Thomas’s post was merged into this one, @Codebase and other mentions started working… Ninja hotfix? :thinking:

Prior to that, the final step would run immediately, with the Reranking chunks step (and others) just loading indefinitely. Now the response step is actually waiting for the prior steps to run. Good stuff!
