Query your own product's codebase as your live source of truth
Use "You're reading the source of truth" to describe the practical rule.
Step 1 of 2
Query your own product's codebase as your live source of truthSE move worth stealing
Here's the sharpest trick the field engineers use and most AEs never try. Open the foundational repositories of the product you sell (whatever your version-control access allows) and ask the agent questions in plain English: How does this service work? How does indexing create vector embeddings? What are the embedding sizes? Was this deprecated? Is it feature-flagged? Where does it actually live? You're not reading a stale docs site. You're reading the source of truth.
This is what lets you answer a sharp RFP or security question authoritatively instead of punting. A prospect asks where their data is retained or whether code ever leaves their cloud environment, and you can go find the real answer in the repo rather than guessing. Keep it open all day, even during calls.
Connect Cursor to the actual codebase of what you sell and ask it anything. This is like the most supercharged docs you could possibly think of. I use this all day every day.
