Apparently I’m the only one here who doesn’t know this but: What is RAG?

Yeah, even on HN that's not an acryonym you should use without explaining.

My first thought for RAG is "Red, Amber, Green" as used on risks etc. with project management.

Retrieval Augmented Generation; basically, find relevant bits from a lot of data, and load the relevant bits into context.
Great answer
It's the buzzword for "make an LLM work on custom data" such as a codebase.
