I've found situations where a file was too big, and then it tries to grep for what might be useful in that file.

I could see in C++ it getting smarter about first checking the .h files or just grepping for function documentation, before actually trying to pull out parts of the file.

Yeah, my first instinct has been to expose an LSP server as a tool so the LLM can avoid reading entire 40,000 line files just to get the implementation of one function.

I think with appropriate instructions in the system prompt it could probably work on this code-base more like I do (heavy use of Ctrl-, in Visual Studio to jump around and read only relevant portions of the code-base).
