Cool project! I'm working in the same space (a ChatGPT plugin that can edit files within a shared VS Code workspace) and have built something similar to your "repo map" concept, except slightly lower-level: what you might call a "file map" generated by selectively collapsing AST nodes to fit within the available token budget. If ctags isn't cutting it for you, have a look at tree-sitter [1]. It can generate ASTs for…

Glad to hear there are others working on similar things. I've been wishing there was a good forum for like minded folks to share ideas about AI coding, beyond the random drive-by commenting that happens here on HN. I have been looking at tree-sitter quite a bit actually. I love that it has broad language support, which is a key design goal for my tool. My only hesitation is that it doesn't appear to correctly identif…

I too would be interested in a good forum for like minded folks to share ideas about AI coding!

Have you done much work on using GPT to *edit* code in an existing codebase? That's been my focus lately, working on my open source GPT coding tool [0]. Generating new code from whole-cloth seems like an easier task for GPT. My tool can certainly do that, as can smol-developer, etc. But you really only do that "once" per project. Can folks use gpt-engineer to modify and extend the code it has already created, as the…

How have you created the svg screencast in the README?

Same. I don't know if it'd be Lemmy or something else just hosted somewhere, and there might just be 5 of us - if people are interested I can make something today. Strong preferences on platforms? If not I'll make something .
