That has been a nice outcome I didn't expect. Some of the trivial "nice to haves" I can get done by Claude, stuff I just don't have time for.

To your other points I agree as well, I think what's important isn't so much stuffing the context with data, but providing the context with the key insights to the problem you have in your head.

In your first example, perhaps the insight is knowing that you have a special snowflake data structure that needs to be explained first. Or another example is properly explaining historical context of a complex bug. Just saying "hey here's all the code please fix this error" yields less good results, if the problem space is particularly complex.
