> use repomap tools on dependencies if creating new code that leverages those dependencies, and have that in context for that work.
It seems to me that currently there are 2 schools of thought:
1. Use repomap and/or LSP to help the models navigate the code base
2. Let the models figure things out with grep
Personally, I am 100% a grep guy, and my editor doesn't even have LSP enabled. So, it is very interesting to see how many of these agentic tools do exactly the same thing.
And Claude Code /init is a great feature that basically writes down the current mental model after the initial round of grep.
I agree with the 2 schools, but different conclusion:
The strategy of one or the other brings differing big gaps and require context or prompt work to compensation.
They should be using 1 to keep overall lay of the land, and 2 before writing any code.
