Work with your AI

There's no connection between Resomark and your AI tool. Both open the same folder: the AI tool reads and writes the files in it directly, and when Resomark sees a file change, it marks the change and lets you decide whether to keep it or change it back. Nothing to configure, no plugin to install.

Any AI tool that can read and write files on your computer, such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor running in Terminal or as a desktop app. They work in a folder, and what they change is the files on disk.

An AI you only chat with in a web page can't change files on your computer. You copy out what it writes yourself, so Resomark can't see what it changed.

  1. In Resomark, add the folder your project lives in as a Workspace. If the folder isn't in Git, turn on Track Changes. See Quick start.
  2. Have your AI tool work in the same folder. How you point it at a folder depends on the tool; see its own documentation.
  3. Let it change files. When it's done, come back to Resomark:
    • The Changes section at the top of the folder page lists the changed files, and their names turn green, red or yellow for added, deleted or modified.
    • Open a changed file and the changes are marked in the formatted text.
    • In a folder outside Git: keep or revert one change at a time, a file at a time, or everything at once. See Keep and revert.
    • In a Git repository: see the changes that haven't been committed. See Uncommitted changes in a Git repository.
  • A change is already in the file before you see it. Keep doesn't make a change take effect; it confirms that you've seen it and accept it. Revert is what changes the file back.
  • Resomark can't tell which AI made a change. It can only tell whether a change is something you wrote in Resomark. Changes from other apps, whether an AI tool, a script or another editor, are all listed the same way.
  • What you write in Resomark doesn't need confirming. Changes you save yourself count as accepted and don't appear in Changes.
  • Tracking continues after you quit Resomark. Files your AI tool changes while Resomark is closed are listed the next time you open it.
  • Resomark doesn't hand your files to an AI. There's no AI inside it, and it doesn't call one. What your AI tool reads depends on which folder you have it work in.

Many AI tools read an instructions file in the folder before they start: Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md, Codex reads AGENTS.md. Write the rules you want the tool to follow and the background of the project in that file, and it reads them before it starts. Whether a tool reads one and which file name it uses is up to each tool; check its documentation.

That file is an ordinary Markdown file, so edit it in Resomark like any document. If the AI changes it, that shows up in Changes as well.
