I agree and that is why I think monorepos are making a comeback.

That said, there are workarounds, like cloning all repos and enabling LSP (coding CLIs added that feature) or using a dedicated solution for codebase indexing and add a skill/mcp.

Super fast models spamming grep commands are also fun to watch!

Curious to know how you implemented it in house.

Run a copy of this in the same VPC. Monorepos would definitely help, but that's not the structure we have. I didn't want to rely on API limits (or stability) at GitHub for such a core feature.

Using this we've had agents find dead APIs across multiple repos that can be cleaned up and the like. Very useful.

this is great, thanks for sharing
