RooCode supports various modes https://docs.roocode.com/basic-usage/using-modes https://docs.roocode.com/basic-usage/using-modes For example, you can first use the Ask mode to explore the codebase and answer your questions, as well as ask you its own about what you want to do. Then, you can switch over to the Code mode to do the actual implementation, or the model itself will ask you to switch to it in other modes, because it's not allowed to change files in the Ask mode. I think that approach works pretty well, especially when you document what needs to be done in a separate Markdown file or something along the lines of it, that can be then referenced if you have to clean the context, like a new refactoring task for what's been implemented. > I find it interesting how marketers are trying to make minimal prompting a good thing, a direction to optimize. This seems like a good thing, though. You're still allowed to be as specific as you want to, but the baseline is a bit better.
