There are lsp tools available to the agent, so in theory it should be able to ask for types, references and diagnostics.

In using it I've found that the agent doesn't really make use of these tools unless I instruct it to. I think I need to do some messing around with prompts to encourage the agent to use them more.

I think the next major thing I want to add is commands to allow you to send symbol types / diagnostics to the agent before it asks for them, which should help speed up some of these workflows.

Thanks for the pointer to take another look at aider - the DIFF format sounds really interesting. Though it seems like the license is Apache 2.0 so I think I'll have to learn a bit about what that means since I made mine MIT licensed.
