Anybody with experience of using something like this with a big codebase and Gemini 2M context window? I tried a while ago (before 2.0 Flash) to solve some refactoring tasks and even after spending some time on prompt wrangling I didn't manage to get good results out of it. I don't know what kind of agent architecture Cursor uses internally but it seems much better designed at finding where changes need to be made.

In my experience with feeding large codebases to Gemini, simple tasks work ok (enumerate where such and such happens, find where a certain function is called, list TODOs throughout the code, etc), but tasks that require a bit more logic are trickier. Nevertheless, I had some success with moderate complex refactoring tasks in Python codebases.
