Highlight the regex, query, or config block
Select the exact expression, SQL CTE, AWS IAM policy JSON, or CSP header string.
Explain complex regular expressions, SQL queries, and YAML/Terraform configs in place.
Highlight cryptic regex patterns, multi-join window functions, Content-Security-Policy headers, or Kubernetes manifests in your browser and get a token-by-token breakdown on screen.
Best fit
Best for backend, data, and DevOps engineers reviewing SQL queries, regexes, IAM policies, and infrastructure configs in browser tabs.
On-screen walkthrough
How this looks on a real webpage.
Instead of switching tabs and rebuilding context, highlight the exact passage that slowed you down and press your shortcut (default: Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X on macOS, fully customizable in settings).
1. Highlighted on page (GitHub Pull Request — Security Headers Config (`_headers`))
^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d)(?=.*[@$!%*?&])[A-Za-z\d@$!%*?&]{12,64}$
Ctrl+Shift+X“Break down every lookahead in this regex and tell me if it blocks valid passphrase characters like spaces or hyphens.”
2. Vezz me on-screen answer overlay
Token-by-token breakdown:
1. `^(?=.*[a-z])` — Requires at least one lowercase ASCII letter.
2. `(?=.*[A-Z])` — Requires at least one uppercase ASCII letter.
3. `(?=.*\d)` — Requires at least one digit.
4. `(?=.*[@$!%*?&])` — Requires at least one character from the exact set `@$!%*?&`.
5. `[A-Za-z\d@$!%*?&]{12,64}$` — **Bug/Gotcha:** Because the character class at the end only allows alphanumeric + those 7 symbols, any password containing a **space, hyphen (`-`), underscore (`_`), or period (`.`)** will be REJECTED! Replace the final class with `.{12,64}$` if you want to allow all special characters.
3. Suggested follow-up questions in thread
- “Rewrite this regex so it allows any printable symbol or space while keeping the 12-64 length check.”
- “Is this regex vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking (ReDoS)?”
- “Show a clean unit test array of passing and failing strings.”
Step-by-step workflow
How to run this workflow in place.
Press Ctrl+Shift+X for a clause-by-clause breakdown
Vezz me explains each token or clause right next to the snippet so you can trace the logic visually.
Ask what inputs or edge cases will fail
Ask for boundary cases (NULL values in `NOT IN` SQL subqueries, greedy quantifiers in regex, or wildcard permissions in IAM).

Why this approach works better than switching tabs.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about developer & devops workflow.
Can Vezz me explain AWS IAM policies, Kubernetes YAML, and Dockerfiles?
Yes. Highlight any policy document, Dockerfile stage, or Helm template in your browser and press Ctrl+Shift+X to get a plain-English security and behavior breakdown.
Can I use Vezz me to translate SQL into Prisma, Drizzle, or SQLAlchemy?
Yes. Highlight the raw SQL query on screen and ask Vezz me in the follow-up box to rewrite it for your ORM or target database dialect (Postgres, SQLite/D1, MySQL, BigQuery).
