# Issue Resolution Assistance

> Get instant solution context for any issue

**Issue Resolution Assistance** is Stash’s core system for helping developers resolve issues faster. It proactively provides all the context you need - documents, past issues, coding locations, and experts within your company who hold the relevant knowledge, **without you having to ask or search for it.**

When you’re assigned an issue, Stash automatically surfaces everything you need to understand and resolve it, so you can focus on building instead of digging through multiple tools for answers.
