What are we building next?
Start with a question about your project. Then ask for one small change. Read the proposed changes and command permission prompts, run your project checks, and review the diff before committing.
Find the bug. Fix it. Show me what changed.
Need a hand?
If ax-code is not found after installation, reopen your terminal. If it still fails, check that the installed command is on PATH. Run ax-code doctor for diagnostics. If a model cannot connect, check its credentials or that your local runtime is running.
