Inline File Context

Inline File Context lets you provide specific code selections to DinoAI, helping it understand your code patterns, naming conventions, and focus on exactly the sections you want to discuss or modify.

Example Use Cases

Ask questions about specific functions or code blocks
Request changes to particular lines of code
Debug targeted portions of your files

How to Use Inline File Context

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Highlight the code you want to add as context in your editor
Click “Add to Chat” to send the selected code to DinoAI
Add your prompt describing what you want DinoAI to do with the selected code

Inline File Context Example

Here’s how Inline File Context improves DinoAI’s results: Without Inline Context

Prompt: "This CTE is running slowly, can you help optimize it?"

Result: DinoAI asks which CTE you're referring to since your model file contains 8 different CTEs, or provides generic optimization advice that may not apply to your specific performance issue

With Inline Context

Prompt: "This CTE is running slowly, can you help optimize it?"

+ Inline Context: highlighted CTE with multiple LEFT JOINs and aggregations

Result: DinoAI identifies that the slow performance and optimizes CTE accordingly

Best Practices

Select relevant code blocks that include enough context for DinoAI to understand the purpose
Be specific in your prompts about what you want DinoAI to do with the highlighted code
Include related functions when selecting code if they’re necessary for understanding
Use for targeted questions rather than broad file-level discussions
