AI Context Selection

Select specific source files from your repository to give Vibe AI richer, targeted context during sprint planning conversations.

How it works

  1. Open the Code tab on your project
  2. Check the boxes next to files you want to include as context
  3. The toolbar shows how many files are selected
  4. Click Use in Vibe Chat to store your selection
  5. Navigate to a sprint and open Vibe Chat — your selected files are automatically included

When files are selected as context, Vibe receives the full source code of those files in the system prompt. This means Vibe can reference specific functions, classes, and patterns from your actual code when generating stories, suggesting implementations, or answering questions.

Limits

  • Up to 10 files can be selected at a time
  • Each file is limited to 100 KB of content
  • Files that can't be fetched (deleted, moved, or access revoked) are silently skipped

When to use this

AI Context Selection is most useful when:

  • Planning a feature that touches specific files — select those files so Vibe understands the existing code
  • Refactoring — select the files you plan to change so Vibe can suggest specific improvements
  • Debugging — select the relevant source files so Vibe can analyze the code when you describe an issue

Context vs. Codebase Profile

The Codebase Profile (Context tab) provides a high-level summary of your entire repository. AI Context Selection provides full source code for specific files. They complement each other — the profile gives Vibe the big picture, while selected files give detailed implementation context.
