Right. And that’s what I’ve tried to do but I am not confident it’s captured the most critical info in an efficient way.

This is exactly how I’ve been using AI so far. I tell it to deeply analyze the code before starting and it burns huge amounts of tokens relearning the same things it learned last time. I want to get some docs in place to minimize this. That’s why I’m interested in what a subagent would respond with because that’s what it’s operating with usually. Or maybe the compressed context might be an interesting reference.
