I saw like 20 tools of this kind and there is a new one coming every month. Cursor had something like this at some point. They've removed it

Referencing other sessions is a cool idea tho

Hah yes. Ill throw my own into the ring too https://github.com/boyter/cs although its a lot older than most other tools having been started 7 years ago.

Cursor was an interesting case where they were maintaining an index. I think everyone has converged on not doing that, which is where I started, with BM25 with some tweaks on top.

Notable link related to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnmtJKFonLk where Jo Kristian Bergum (notable in the search space) agrees with BM25 being a good approach for agentic workflows.

Any insight into why would be much appreciated because those insights might hold the key to whether this is a usable, sustainable idea to begin with.
