# Chrome extension for developers reading docs, APIs, and code.

Ask Vezz me to explain snippets, unfamiliar API behavior, and documentation details while the source page stays open.

## How it works

1. **Select the snippet**: Highlight an API example, config block, error text, or unfamiliar pattern.
2. **Ask for behavior**: Request what it does, when it fails, and which assumptions matter in your stack.
3. **Turn it into action**: Copy a safer implementation note, edge case, or checklist item into your issue or PR.

## Understand code in context

Selected snippets carry more meaning when the surrounding page, heading, and URL remain attached.

- Explain unfamiliar APIs
- Translate examples into plain language
- Ask follow-ups about edge cases or tradeoffs

## Reduce documentation drift

Instead of copying docs into another tab, ask from the page and keep your place in the source material.

- Review snippets on any site
- Use a code-review prompt mode
- Copy answers into issue notes or implementation plans

## Frequently asked questions

### Can Vezz me explain code snippets?

Yes. Select a snippet or documentation example and ask what it does, what assumptions it makes, or how to adapt it. Always test generated guidance in your own environment.

### Is this for API documentation or source code?

Both. It works well on docs pages, README files, examples, errors, and technical articles where the surrounding page context helps explain the selected text.

### Can I create a developer-specific prompt?

Yes. Custom prompt modes are useful for code review, edge-case analysis, plain-language explanations, and implementation checklists.
