alt Hacker News+1; Ideally I want a tool I don't have to specify the context for. If I can point it via config files at my medium-sized codebase once (~2000 py files; 300k LOC according to `cloc`) then it starts to get actually usable.
Cursor Composer doesn't handle that and seems geared towards a small handful of handpicked files.
Would codebuff be able to handle a proper sized codebase? Or do the models fundamentally not handle that much context?
Yes. Natively, the models are limited to 200k tokens which is on the order of dozens of files, which is way too small.
But Codebuff has a whole preliminary step where it searches your codebase to find relevant files to your query, and only those get added to the coding agent's context.
That's why I think it should work up to medium-large codebases. If the codebase is too large, then our file-finding step will also start to fail.
I would give it a shot on your codebase. I think it should work.
