How does Tabnine handle custom instructions and repository rules so the agent follows our team's coding conventions? And can it answer questions about the codebase without editing files?

“Tabnine supports both team-specific coding instructions and read-only codebase exploration.”

“Tabnine Chat can investigate and explain your code without needing to modify it.”

“Tabnine provides a feature called Agent Guidelines that lets you define how its AI agent should behave.”

“Administrators can configure general agent guidelines in the Tabnine Admin UI.”

“Tabnine uses codebase context and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).”

“An especially useful feature is Context Scoping.”

“Remote repository context and centralized governance are particularly useful for enterprise teams.”

“Guidelines influence agent behavior, but they are not an absolute guarantee that every instruction will be followed.”
