Well, out of all the workflows I have seen, this one is rather nice, might give it a try.

I imagine if the context were being commited and kept up-to-date with CI would work for others to use as well.

However, I'm a little confused on the autocontext/globs narrowing part. Do you, the developer, provide them? Or you feed the full code map to flash + your prompt so it returns the globs based on your prompt?

Also, in general, is your map of a file relatively smaller than the file itself, even for very small files?

- The ..-code-map.json files are per "developer folder," which would create too many conflicts if they were kept in Git.

- I have two main globs, which are lists of globs: knowledge_globs and context_globs. Knowledge can be absolute and should be relatively static. context_globs have to be relative to the workspace, since they are the working files.

- As a dev, you provide them in the top YAML section of the coder-prompt.md.

- The auto-context sub-agent calls the code-map sub-agent. Sub-agents can add to or narrow the given globs, and that is the goal of the auto-context agent.

It looks complicated, but it actually works like a charm.

Hopefully, I answered some of your questions.

I need to make a video about it.

But regardless, I really think it's not about the tools, it's about the techniques. This is where the true value is.

My 2ct, I think writing and reading an article is easier.

point taken.

Looking forward to some article/video
