## About

Ask the Code turns a repository or code snapshot into a practical engineering map. It identifies architecture, entry points, dependencies, data flow, likely failure paths, affected files, implementation steps, tests, and configuration changes. It distinguishes inspected evidence from assumptions and never claims to have accessed a repository that was not provided or connected.

## Install

1. **Add it in ChatGPT** Open Plugins in the ChatGPT sidebar (web or desktop), search for “Ask the Code” and select +. You'll be asked to sign in to any connected service on first use. Then type @ in a chat to call it.

## Disconnect or uninstall

1. **In ChatGPT** Disconnect an account in Settings → Apps or Plugins. To remove the plugin itself, open Ask the Code in the Plugin Directory and select Uninstall plugin. Uninstalling can disconnect every account connected through it, and plugins your workspace installs may not offer the option.

2. **In Codex** Run /plugins in the Codex CLI, select the plugin and uninstall it, or press Space to turn it off.

## Skills

- **ask-the-code**: Analyze repositories and code snapshots, explain architecture, trace bugs, and produce evidence-based implementation plans.

## Example prompts

- "Map this repository's architecture and entry points."
- "Trace the likely cause of this bug through the code."
- "Turn this feature request into an implementation plan."
