    My tool Plandex[1] allows you to switch between automatic and manual context management. It can be useful to begin a task with automatic context loading while scoping it out and making the high level plan, then switch to the more 'aider-style' manual context once the relevant files are clearly established.

    Also, a bit more on auto vs. manual context management in the docs: https://docs.plandex.ai/core-concepts/context-management

    You can read all of the prompts in Plandex (open source CLI coding agent focusing on larger projects): https://github.com/plandex-ai/plandex/tree/main/app/server/m...

    They're pretty long and extensive, and honestly could use some cleaning up and refactoring at this point, but they are being used heavily in production and work quite well, which took a fairly extreme amount of trial-and-error to achieve.

    If you're using Cursor, but find it tends to struggle once your project reaches a certain size, and you're ok with something CLI-based, you might find the open source CLI coding agent I've built interesting: https://github.com/plandex-ai/plandex

    - It can handle up to 2M tokens of context directly, and can index/work with/chat with projects up to 20M tokens (1M+ lines). Here's an example of chatting with with SQLite codebase to learn about how transactions are implemented: https://plandex.ai/_next/static/media/plandex-sqlite.0ee6cb2...

    - All changes are committed to a version-controlled sandbox by default, preventing the problem of stray changes that you don't notice being left behind in the project.

    - Being terminal-based allows for more seamless and powerful execution control and automated debugging. Here's an example of automatically debugging a browser app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-_76U_nK0Y&embeds_referring...
