It cannot be better because Cursor looks across files, whereas with grok you'd be giving it a single one. Grok won't have any context about the rest of your repo, which makes it only useful for toy examples.

What's stopping you at pasting only a single file? I use the workflow Elon suggests (although I've never used it with Grok) predominately, it's well over 30% of my use of LLMs. I have a small piece of python called "crawlxml" that filters + dumps into <file> tags. And of course the LLM doesn't need your actual code in its context to do its job.

  There's no way I'm going to go through my repo dependency tree and paste twenty files into grok one by one.

    well, your loss then. clearly your work steps aren’t big enough to benefit from SoA LLM

      My work steps are too big to sit around pasting my repo into a text box every time I have a task. This is why integrated IDEs are taking off.

I'm invested in the JetBrains ecosystem though. I tried Junie but it crashed so I'm putting that on pause for now. Maybe there is a Claude plugin that looks across files, not sure. Any experiences from HN'ers using JetBrains IDE's like IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, CLion etc?

  Update: Tried Claude using AI Assistant now in JetBrains and it works great
