> Tools, especially open source ones (linters, static analysis, scanning, LSPs, IDEs, etc) are not built for monorepos, and with AI Agents working in the monorepo results in an enormous increase in input tokens as the agents are constantly trying to grep this giant source tree.

I've been thinking that one could dynamically patch .claude/settings.json (or its equivalent for other agents) to allow reads/writes only to the active app/package being edited and its dependencies (other packages/apps).
