    Okay so now I think you’re describing the behaviour I take for granted with the harness i.e. Claude Code.

    Having good repo readiness through a good agents/claude.md file + tests + docs means the LLM is able to read more files into its context.

    It never occurred to me that anyone would prompt in isolation of their repos but I guess thats exactly what it was like for me last year when I was just feeding ChatGPT prompts away from the repo.

      Yes, code harnesses help by providing deterministic feedback like with a language server and reduce the amount of prompting requirements. I guess I should have led with that example 😅

        Gotcha…I’ve always struggled to pick up the vocabulary around technical concepts - I guess ive just never prioritised it, and now this whole new field has materialised with a whole new vocabulary to go along with it! I get the tech. The words are my achilles heel.
