Codebuff Best Practices

Run Codebuff inside a git repo so you can track and revert changes.

Codebuff skips files in .gitignore. For files you keep in git but want Codebuff to avoid, add .codebuffignore.

Use /mode:plan to scope work before implementing. Codebuff gathers context, asks clarifying questions, and outputs a structured plan without touching files. Review and adjust the plan, then switch to default or max mode to execute.

See Modes for details on plan mode and other options.

Share URLs and Codebuff will scrape them to markdown. You can also drop links into knowledge.md so they load on startup. Useful for API docs, framework guides, or design references.
