FAQ

Does N45 send my code anywhere?

N45 itself doesn't ship your code anywhere. The AI calls go through your IDE's existing connection to its model provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.). N45 only sees the responses, never your code as a separate transmission.

The data that N45 stores in your project (.n45/) lives entirely in your repo. It's yours.

Can I switch between Claude Code and Cursor?

Yes. Run npx n45-ai install again in the same project from the other IDE — N45 detects the new tool and installs the matching configuration alongside the existing one. You can use both interchangeably.

What languages are supported in N45's analysis?

Any language. N45 reads source code as text and reasons about it using your AI assistant's underlying model. Documents like STACK and PATTERNS reflect whatever the model can interpret — typically excellent for mainstream languages (Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, C#, Rust, Ruby, etc.) and reasonable for everything else.

Does it work offline?

No. N45 needs network access to:

  • Validate your license (occasional check)
  • Make AI calls (via your IDE)
  • Download updates

The binary itself runs locally, but workflows that drive AI agents require a connection.

What happens when I uninstall N45?

There's no formal uninstall — just delete .n45/ from your project. The IDE configuration files (CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules/) hold the N45 block between <!-- n45:start --> and <!-- n45:end --> markers. Remove that block (or remove the whole file if it was created by N45) and you're done.

Does it work in monorepos?

Yes. Run npx n45-ai install in the root of the monorepo. N45 reads patterns across all packages.

For workspaces with very different stacks per package, you can install N45 separately in each package directory — they're independent.

Can I use N45 in CI?

Not currently. N45 is designed for interactive sessions inside your IDE, where the human is the decision-maker. CI use cases (auto-generated PRs, scheduled refactors) are under evaluation but not supported yet.

My IDE isn't supported. What can I do?

Today, N45 supports Claude Code and Cursor. If you'd like to see support for another tool, write to support@n45.tech with your use case.
