I bet one problem with supporting repos is that the 200K context can fill up quick. Need to be selective with what files are in the context. If the repo was integrated, and you could select which files are in the current context, that could be good.
I think the first step is to have a .claudeignore file (or maybe we can standardize on .llmignore) to tell it which files you don’t want it to add to the context. You could easily eliminate millions of tokens by ignore node_modules in most JavaScript projects!
You would ignore node modules in any case, but our monorepo has millions of files outside node modules or other generated artifacts, so going per package is still 100k files or so. LLMs don’t like that much yet.
