I've been exploring how to work with large codebases using AI for a while. With larger context windows, it works really well to pack your entire repo—or at least a module or slice—and share it as context, especially for o1 pro. I've seen it create an entire feature for an app's TypeScript backend, only requiring some adjustments. O1 pro spends about 3 or 4 minutes thinking and, because I've given thousands of tokens worth of code, also follows that code's patterns. Very powerful pattern overall but I'm sure it's a fairly crude instrument. I hope to see more powerful just-in-time, say, exploration of a codebase by the AI itself for example, as it reasons, so that it picks just the necessary amount of context.

Here's a great tool to package code into a single text file: https://github.com/yamadashy/repomix Have you tried this technique or any other for working with large codebases with AI?
