Does BuildGist work with Claude Code, Cursor and Codex?
Yes. BuildGist works with Claude Code, Cursor and Codex. A project can use any of them, or all three.
Does BuildGist send my code anywhere?
To explain a run, your computer sends BuildGist what that run needs, and BuildGist passes it to Anthropic. BuildGist does not keep this material. It does not send your whole repository, files the run did not change, or files named like secrets, such as .env files and keys. It keeps the explanation and short cited excerpts of changed code, at most 12 lines each. Secret masking is best-effort. Privacy has the full list.
